Netbook Facts
The Truths about netbooks:
They are slower than standard-sized laptops. You’re not going to see any blazing-fast performance out of one of these things. It’s not terribly slow, but it is noticeable.
The keyboards are physically smaller. Got big hands and/or big fingers? Then you’d hate the netbook.
No optical drive.
Small storage. Netbooks come with storage as small as 4GB. Others (like the Dell Inspiron Mini 9) do come with 40GB and up for storage. But for some people this simply isn’t enough space.
Forced with XP if using Windows. If you want a netbook with Windows, it must be XP. Vista requires more horsepower than a netbook can provide, therefore it isn’t available for it (but this may change with Windows 7).
