Specifications: We all love netbooks. They are very affordable, stylish and extremely functional. The only shortcoming with netbooks is that you can only expect to perform light computing tasks at this level. If you need a little more processing power (still cherish the portability) of a netbook, keep an ultra-slim netbook. The Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810TZ-4174, for example, an excellent alternative laptop. It is a 11.6-inch laptop comes with thata 320GB hard drive, 3GB of RAM and an Intel Pentium processor SU4100. Although it is almost as powerful as a full-featured notebook, it weighs only 3.1 pounds and is about 1-inch thick. The 11.6 LED backlit screen is a HD display and it also comes with an HDMI port and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity.

Face it, when shopping for netbooks, it's easy to get confused as to which one is best, because they all pretty much have the same specifications. The typical technical detail seems to be an Intel Atom processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard disk space, and hi-speed Wi-Fi connection. Most of the differences are screen size, are dimension, and the operating system (Linux, Win XP or Vista). Storage change between XP and Vista, but they are rather less than 160 GB.

NVIDIA, the # 1 graphics chip manufacturer in the computer industry, has finally decided to join the Netbook race. They have recently started their new platform, the ION. Although it is not a revolutionary new chip (it) has in fact been a while since it is the pairing with the Intel Atom processor is what is it really important to netbook owners and drug addicts.
