Gone are those times when the companies and the organisations didn't need a hi-tech system to handle them.

Within the IT world the latest crazygadget now is the Netbook, looks like a baby version of a laptop.Smaller, less powerful and in most cases, a stripped down version ofa laptops operating system.The Netbook grew massively when Asusmarketed its first Netbook, the EeePC. Small, white thinnish machine,which had Linux as its operating system, and from £150 upwards, theyare relatively affordable, but are they useful?They offer much in comparisonto a full blown laptop, much more convenient when it comes tocarrying them, you can slip a netbook inside a small handbag.Can connect to theInternet.Most are running Windows XP,so are open to the vast world of Windows software.But does the Netbook have a strongenough pair of legs to do what we take laptops for granted? Can itkeep up with our demands?Netbooks have been designedfor:Ease of use that gives quick,and trouble free connectivity to the Internet.All come with WI-FI and moreand more come with Bluetooth. So connecting to a 3G network via amobile phone is all there.High resolution is nowaffordable worth 1024 x 600 as standard. This means that most webpages can be viewed comfortable.ProblemsAs the Internet becomes more multi-media focused, this may take its toll on the power of thenetbook. If Flash is used on a website, then that in itself isdemanding as it can take between 30% to 40% load of the netbooks CPU.BBC's Iplayer will nearly wipe out theload on the CPU as 60% is common. What this means is that XP haslittle room for smooth usage.Erm, pretty negative. So whatwould I need a Netbook for?Netbooks are great for work, especiallyon the move. If you leave the multi-media world behind, then they arevery good indeed. Emails, word processing, and spreadsheets, workvery well. They will also let you listen to music, but again, when itcomes to video, think hard.The majority of Netbooks come withOpenOffice as standard, which allows you to write letters, dographics, spreadsheets and databases.Keyboards are getting much better, suchas Asus EeePC 1000 and the MSI Wind model.Battery usage is excellent, with thenew Asus models giving up to 7 hours of continuous usages, muchbetter than a laptop.For day to day tasks, they have enoughprocessing power to help you out, and get the job done, but keep awayfrom graphic or multi-media intensive jobs.Should I use Windows orXP?When Asus first brought out the EeePCit was all about keeping price to a minimum, and so Linux was used.Manufactures thought about it, buy people bought it.It also gave an extended life toWindows XP. Now that Netbooks have become more powerful and the pricekept down, Windows is a big choice for most, due to familiarity. XPis the de-facto OS on netbooks. If you feel that you can handle Linuxthen you can buy one with Linux or install it yourself.Windows does take more space thanLinux, and gives the CPU more stress, but is viewed as simple to use.If you do opt for Win XP then take into account Viruses. They willstill be a threat even on a Netbook.So, should I get anetbook?They are very tempting if all you doare tasks that are not multi-media intensive and you just do not wantto lug around a laptop. The netbook is a great solution.They are highly portable, batteryefficient and competitively priced, and that there is Netbook on themarket that will suit everyone's taste.Take a look, have a good try and pickthe brains of the salesman that is looking after you. Remember, aNetbook is not just for Christmas, its for everyday.
