Compare Netbooks

When netbooks first launched there was only really 1 type, and that was the Asus Eee PC netbook. It was tiny, simple, and very cheap. This netbook has actually been singled out as the netbook that started the whole craze and actually created a new market. However, since then almost every single manufacturer (Acer, Samsung, HP, Dell, Toshiba, LG, Lenovo, and MSI) have launched their own netbooks to try and capture some of this monumental market growth. The only significant manufacturer who has not yet created a dedicated netbook, is Apple, but that may also change.

Although so many manufacturers entering the market is a good thing as it creates competition ensuring that netbooks keep progressing technologically, as well as prices remain low, it has also lead to a lot of customer confusion as to how to choose a netbook. This is where comparing netbooks comes in.
Luckily most netbook manufacturers use a similar lingo or jargon when referring to netbook specifications and this makes comparing them a whole lot easier. When comparing netbooks, or anything for that matter, it is important to ensure that you are comparing like for like products and/or features. So the best thing to do when comparing netbooks, is to choose a set of features that are important to you and compare two, or multiple, netbooks along this set of features. Typical features to compare along include price, screen size, RAM, storage, operating system, and battery life.

You will notice that all the features above that are being compared are completely factual. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to compare along features such as the aesthetics, as this is purely subjective. One person may like a netbook with a sheen, while another will prefer matted. One may prefer a bezel around the screen, while another may not.

We hope that this article has made it easier for you to know the best features along which to compare netbooks are.
