The 'inherent' disadvantage of netbooks

The recent netbook keyboard has many advancements, but some important keys are still small. In addition, the ability of poor heat dissipation has not been overcome.

Some recently launched netbook models have limited the weaknesses that are supposed to be difficult to change of this model, such as improved speed, large hard drive, high RAM, so it helps to cut and pair operations. Simple photo. However, some disadvantages such as some important keys are still small or poor heat dissipation makes the heater after a period of operation still exist, despite the improvement of the situation at the manufacturer's fingertips.

The most common complaint point is the keyboard size. Although the screen is not large, the keyboard does not expand much, but the small size also limits the typing speed, especially in 7-inch models. The 9-inch version has somewhat overcome this drawback with the keyboard by 95% of the size on a popular laptop. However, there is still "room". The "shift" key on most models is still small, so it is easy to type wrongly with the next key. Even the 10-inch screen machines like BenQ Joybook Lite U101 also meet this disadvantage.

Small trackpad also takes users time to get acquainted. Most of the 9-inch machines, like the HP Mini 2133 or Lenovo S9, the manufacturer doesn't pay attention to this component. On the 10-inch version, the trackpad has been significantly expanded, but the mouse pointer hasn't improved yet, so it's quite hard. Users often have to apply a force to be able to manipulate it. This restriction is similar to many laptops before 2007.

In addition, many netbook makers have built the mouse pointer into two separate small keys, but they fall under the horizontal surface, the hand rests, so it makes the user more "wasted".

While if you look, the manufacturer will see that if you create two mouse cursor keys on a large contact surface, like in Joybook Lite by BenQ, that will solve this problem. However, U101's limitations are not as smooth as the laptop.

The temperature of netbooks is also a concern. Most users complain that the heater runs for about 20 minutes even if it uses an Atom processor that consumes less power. In fact, the netbook space and the space around are quite narrow, so the heat dissipation space has many obstacles. In addition, many companies choose hard disk drives (HDD) for netbooks for comfortable storage and attractive prices. As a result, the operating temperature of the machine increases.

Others have alloy cases to add elegance, like the HP Mini, but this makes users uncomfortable when composing documents by the heat of the face on the keyboard and the rest near the trackpad. . The thin plastic case design will limit this disadvantage.

Restrictions when not having a CD / DVD drive also make it difficult for users who don't know the tricks. Even if you have an extra CD drive ready to connect to the netbook via USB, you can't always carry it with you. In particular, Windows XP machines are always damaged by viruses.

Although some netbooks like Lenovo or Dell support the automatic recovery key system, it has overcome this drawback, but the need to read optical discs at any time is still a question for netbooks.
