Dell's dropping its 12-inch netbook raises the question of when to stop netbooks and notebooks start. In terms of seller profits, the answer is simple: 10-inch, but for consumers, the answer is different.
Must TechCrunch Michael Arrington on, at least in spirit. I believe that Dell made a mistake and that netbooks should be slightly larger than the standard 9 and 10-inch models.
Dell does not deserve much guilt, but as Microsoft is the real power of deliberate stunting of netbooks.
Customers want stable decent size screens with appropriate $ 300 laptop, call them what you will be. However, at some point One Intel Atom processor oomph is not just for work and issues.
Last month I purchased the Acer One netbook strive to 11.6-inch display. The reason for purchase was a great full keyboard for more than a large canvas. My computer has nothing to expect from the Atom processor and 1GB RAM and I am satisfied with the purchase.
This means that it is a TAD undersized for the application to use several at once. But since I can live with these limitations, this is a $ 329 computer. Now, if you can not use a faster processor and more RAM for $ 100 will be very happy.
Large mouse buttons is also good, although I'm not sure how Acer can do. I was using the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000, which works great (even the bed sheet).
However, no more than Acer expenses, especially with $ 60 $ 60 mouse and USB DVD drive added to the price I can buy more powerful but less portable, the size of a standard laptop.
I still think that the decision whether netbook small size and weight outweigh the detriment of TAD undersized for what I was working. Until now I was in favor of the netbook, because I use my computer when I have work seriously.
Acer is the perfect netbook for the screen and keyboard. LED enough property to see what I do and a good keyboard for the size of a finger. For $ 329 (at-Costco), it is a big deal.
Unfortunately, the days of netbooks, which may be numbered. Some traders fear that they cut into sales pricier (read: more margin) in 13 laptop-15-inch range.
While it is true, I do not buy a larger laptop, the 11.6-inch Acer is not available, I have to do with what I have. Thus, by building a machine that I care, Acer will never be given to the other boundaries.
Intel Atom processor seems more in netbooks used to screen larger than 10 inches. Microsoft pushes for netbooks on the screen larger than 10 inches, more than 1 GB of RAM or hard drives larger than 160GB.
While I understand the desire to protect the laptop sales, this is just wrong. Intel and Microsoft should know better than standing in the way of progress.
