Prediction about future netbooks

Netbook is taking up 8% of the laptop market share. This is likely to change as future generations of netbooks will come out with new technologies .

Here are 5 predictions about future netbook generations.

The current generation of Atom processors are able to handle video clips on YouTube as well as display HD images, so the netbook's ability to play video clips will be smoother (including HD video signals). As a result, multimedia features will probably not be a big problem for future generations of netbooks.

However, the netbook still has a downside: DVD optical drives to make the most of its multimedia power. Recently, the appearance of the first netbook equipped with DVD optical drive of Asus EeePC 1004DN is probably one of the positive signs for this problem.

Smaller but . bigger keyboard

In addition, with a larger screen layout will facilitate the keyboard designers can extend it a bit.

Use modern operating systems

In the beginning, netbooks could only handle the Linux operating system or, at the very least, special versions with a small capacity reserved for XP. But with netbook screens now 10 inches or more and visibility at 1,024 x600, storage capacity is growing . it will bring another operating system to it. And in fact, new netbooks have been able to handle Windows 7 when meeting the standards set by Microsoft for netbooks.

The price is cheaper

At this point, most netbooks have dropped prices. With the price of an Atom processor at the present time of $ 43 while a Core 2 Duo processor is $ 133, it can be said that the disparity of netbook processors with other devices is quite far away. And in fact, Dell recently announced that Dell Mini 10v has a relative configuration (Atom N270 CPU, 1GB Ram, 120 GB hard drive, Windows XP, 3 cell battery) but costs only $ 299, or HP with Verizon's price subsidy (with attached request).

Solve multimedia better than smartphones

The current smartphone (smartphone) is equipped with mini keyboards that open to smartphones capable of resolving text issues. If you are working with a mobile computing device then that future will be netbook with a larger screen or keyboard.

Thus, it can be said that future phones will be a netbook. Specifically, when Android, BlackBerry and iPhone operating systems have been developed mini-applications, netbooks are deploying a keyboard-to-screen harmony to form a PowerBook generation. Future details are being directed to designs, such as Asus' netbook model with 2 displays as a representative.
