Laptops - Acer Aspire One

The Acer Aspire One may look and feel like a laptop but its not a laptop thats what the company have tried so hard to have you think, this model as an internet device. Other companies who have joined in on the internet device success are also refraining from referring to their products as mini laptops and prefer to call them netbooks. Netbooks are extremely popular at the moment and have been selling very well, the reason for this is because they are very portable and to be honest also very cute. However, the reason that these companies want you to refer to them as anything but laptops is because they dont have the same functions and features as fully fledged laptops. Netbooks are predominantly to be used for surfing the web, some do offer other features such as web cameras and the odd game and of course imputing text but if you mainly use your laptop for playing World of Warcraft then you can forget trading in your laptop for one of these as the graphics card just wont c ome close to supporting it, let alone have enough memory to even load the game. However, this negative comment aside, what are the benefits of the devices? The best way to answer this is to take a closer look at one of the most popular netbooks on the market. The Acer Aspire One is a very sleek and stylish looking device and at just 249 x 29 x 170mm, its also a very small device as well. The One is also very lightweight as it weighs in at just 995g, however, it saves on weight by having a small battery that will only keep your laptop, sorry, netbook going for a mere two hours. Acer laptops are usually well-built machines and can serve your laptop needs well for a couple of years or so, this is why it seems unfair to judge their netbook by these standards, instead the One should be judged on its own merits separately. As soon as you do this you begin to see just how impressive this gadget really is, with merits such as its keyboard which is 95 per cent the size of a full lapt op keyboard, its tiny size and of course the fact that as this netbook is focussing on just one main job searching the internet, it is also extremely quick powering up and loading pages. The best way to decide whether or not you need a netbook is to look at how much time you spend on the internet. If you spend most of your time on your laptop searching the web then perhaps investing in a netbook would be worth while and a lot better than carting around a full sized laptop. However, before you purchase one, it makes sense to search the internet and compare the cost of a few different devices in order to find cheap laptops or netbooks.

Companies want people to refer to their devices as internet devices or netbooks rather than mini laptops because the netbooks dont have as many features as a laptop does. Acer laptops have always been very good machines and can live up to their promises. If you plan on purchasing a laptop or a netbook in order to su rf the internet, play games, type up word documents etc then the best thing to do is to compare prices in order to find cheap laptops or netbooks.
