A netbook next to a regular laptop
According to Slashgear website, Moorhead thinks the technology inside netbooks is also bad. He said that users want to be going out 8-9 hours along with the netbook because it's tiny and light weight, but most netbooks are only 'alive' for about 2 hours of battery life. Thus, netbooks are only good when using around the house.
Moorhead advises people to spend the same amount and buy a regular laptop with a 15.4-inch screen, 160 GB hard drive, dual-core chip and Vista operating system.
It is known that AMD is developing its own ultra-portable chip to compete with Atom.
