This guide covers netbook - smaller or bigger with practical context and easy-to-follow details. Use it to understand the subject and apply the information confidently.

The initial definition of netbooks is ultra-light portable laptops (about 1kg in weight), super small and super cheap.The size of netbooks is usually about two-thirds that of regular laptops . Netbooks usually only perform basic operations: Word processing, watching movies and chatting online. This is also the weakness of netbooks. To overcome the above disadvantages, the second generation netbook comes with more powerful microprocessor, larger screen size and more storage. However, netbooks also gradually lose their price advantage over other laptops (laptops). What is the best direction for netbooks? 'Small but have. Martial' While many other netbooks tend to increase in size, there are still a number of companies that are consistent with the netbook's compact style. However, the second generation netbook line has increased processing power and more ergonomic keyboard, in which Sony's Vaio P is a line of products typical of this school. It has an 8-inch screen, weighs 0. 64kg, can fit into a pocket or jacket pocket.

The Vaio P is specially designed, the keyboard is fully extended and occupies the entire area below, without the touchpad but instead of the same control button as IBM's ThinkPad. Thanks to the use of a control knob that allows for space saving, the Vaio P keyboard is also wider and brings comfort to the user. Vaio P is also equipped with high resolution 1, 600x768 pixel LED backlight, the new Z520 processor with 1. 33GHz speed and Intel integrated graphics system for mobile Internet devices, 2GB RAM and hard drive 64GB SSD. The speed of the device is slightly better than the popular netbooks on the market today. Basic apps like SkyPE, VLC, iTunes, Gimp, Firefox. All work smoothly. It can be said that Vaio P completed well the processing but the price is equal to the normal laptop (about 16 million VND). Compact like Lenovo Pocket Yoga Like Sony, Lenovo unveiled the Pocket Yoga series with compact size. It is equipped with the same ultra-wide screen as the Sony Vaio P series supporting tap technology. Users can use the stylus to directly manipulate the screen in Tablet PC style.

Although small, the mbook has most of the features of regular laptops. The device is equipped with Intel Atom 1. 3GHz, 1GB RAM, 32GB SSD hard drive, screen-based speakers and 1. 3Mp webcam, card reader. Mbook is integrated with high-speed communication technologies such as HSDPA technology, Bluetooth 2. 0 and WiBro. It has a mini USB 2. 0 port and a Qwerty keyboard. Mbook can work continuously for 6 hours. The bigger the better Initially, when netbooks used a 7-inch screen, users often complained that the screen was too small to be able to view information on the web and often had to re-type many times because the keyboard was too small, making it easy to type the wrong key. Realizing the aforementioned inconveniences, manufacturers increased the screen size to 8. 9 inches, then 10. 2 inches. Even Taiwanese electronics maker Asus (Taiwan) has announced to give up its 9-inch netbook line and focus on offering new 10-inch models. With 10-inch netbook models, the keyboard is roughly the size of a regular keyboard, making it easier for users to manipulate. In addition, the screen can display the full page so users do not have to scroll across the scroll bar to see the information on the right side of the site. Asus continues to offer new improved netbooks such as the EeePC 1002H using 1. 66GHz Intel Atom N280 processor, a 10-inch LED Backlit display for high-contrast, vivid, power-saving images. Chiclet keyboard glows in the dark. The new Eee PC 1004DN series also comes with a built-in DVD optical drive that supports multi-format DVD reading / writing (with DVD + R DL support), fingerprint reader slot, extended card connection.

Acer, which has been very successful with the 8. 9-inch Aspire One, has just launched the Aspire One AOD150 series with a 10-inch screen. It has improved processing speed, storage space, large keyboard, and up to five hours of usage due to the use of a 6-cell battery. Also according to the trend of increasing size for netbooks, other companies such as Dell and HP, Samsung also launched 10-inch netbooks. Not only 10 inches, netbook screen is also increased to 12 inches, equivalent to ultra-light laptops. Samsung has NC20 netbook with 12-inch screen running 1. 3GHz Nano processor and VIA VX800 chipset, WXGA + screen, full keyboard. The NC20 also supports 802. 11b / g Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth, including 1. 3MP Webcam, 3-in-1 memory card reader, and up to three USB 2. 0 ports. It weighs about 1. 5kg and can run for 6. 5 hours thanks to the 6-cell battery.

Dell, after launching mini 9 and mini 10, also launched mini 12 with a 12-inch screen, using Windows Vista operating system. Unlike most netbook models available on the market using Intel Atom N270 processor, it will use Atom Z520 or Z530 (Silverthorne) instead. Silverthorne processor, originally developed for mobile Internet devices, can saving energy. Equipping the Silverthorne processor will push the price of the Mini 12 up. In Japan, the price of Mini 12 with Atom Z520 1. 33 Ghz configuration, 1GB RAM and 60GB hard drive converted into Vietnamese currency is about VND 24 million. Netbooks with large screens usually weigh 1. 3kg or more and are nearly the same price as regular laptops. It seems that big screen netbooks are going against the inherent criteria of netbooks: compact, light and cheap.
