Has your laptop become a bit too clunky to carry around?

While the latest smart phones are doing their best to replace the laptop, they are probably too small and restricted to use as a PC at a meeting or presentation. And, while the normal 15” laptop handles this requirement very well, maybe it’s just too large and heavy to carry around comfortably.

That’s where the new kid on the block, the Netbook, comes in. These are small, light and very portable 10” screen laptops. And they are inexpensive too!

Small enough to fit into a handbag/briefcase, they have a full sized keyboard, making them very easy to use. Running Windows 7, with 300GB and larger disk drives, they can easily handle all the information you’d need at a meeting. If needs be, they can also hook up a to larger screen or projector!

So, if you need a computer when are away from your main computer, this is something you should be considering for those times away from home or on a business trip!

By the way, I offer various makes, including Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo and Dell, in various configurations.

And a comment:

Hi Rob

I have been using the Acer netbook from the day they were launched – I am now on my second.

And I totally support your comments.

I use it in conjunction with Dropbox and Gmail (for back up of all emails and diary). All my work on my main PC is automatically updated via dropbox on my netbook and, via Gmail, I have access to all my past emails.

I keep the netbook in my briefcase and then have immediate access to all my data if in an offsite meeting or travelling.

My Acer has the built in 3G card which I keep regularly charged with data bundle so I have full internet access at all times.
