Netbook is the favorite. Financial crisis, poor morale and insecurity among the consumers in spite of the merchants, they are formally out of the hands torn. The market research firm Display Search expects the Netbook-paragraph 2009 by 65 percent over the previous year growth will be. Traditional notebooks nearly stagnates, however, have to deal with merely three percent growth. But what actually is a Netbook? What is different than in a notebook? And most importantly: Why are all so similar?
For Intel, and Microsoft is clearly defined: A Netbook has a screen of up to ten inches in the diagonal, a hard disk with no greater than 160 gigabytes of storage space and a gigabyte of RAM. In addition, Intel's Atom processor inside, it runs Windows XP on it and an optical drive does not exist. Manufacturers who fail to meet these limits, may have the necessary extras for microchips pay or receive from any Microsoft Windows licenses delivered.
No wonder then that the latest models from all manufacturers amazingly similar, often only by the battery differ. The more the cells has, the longer it holds such an outlet through without Netbook. Otherwise it remains the only producer, unusual design is a little individuality other sources. HP has it with bright red Netbook look in the Asia-tries, with the flat Asus EEEPC S101 and Sony with the most slender Vaio P.
Dear Linux or Windows again?
One possibility, the hardware compared to the standard to improve, it would be to use Linux. The first EeePCs advantage of such a system, a surface übergestülpt was. It looked good and functioned perfectly. In addition, this Linux cheaper than Windows and fit fine on the original Netbook concept. The Netbook were as cheap mini-notebooks for students advertised.
But this idea has long been obsolete. Netbook buys today everyone, be it as a second device as a mobile toy or even a company laptop. And since many users want to just have Windows on it. So they get the same, even if it is the choice of hardware or restricts the price pushes upward.
Some want the atomic-exit
In the meantime, there are Linux versions that are specifically adapted to Netbook. The
Ubuntu Netbook Remix For example, a Linux based, with four gigabytes of storage space and still merely a complete software package including Office applications, multimedia players, and Internet applications bring - all of this software is completely free.
Also, alternatives to Intel's Atom chip, which is currently almost all Netbook drives, there is no shortage. A favorable variant, for example, the
Chip manufacturers with the Via Nano processor available. Even Samsung has already tried such a device, the NC20 Netbook with Via chips. Its clearly visible distinguishing feature compared to standard devices: It has a 12.1 inch WXGA wide-screen, which is no nuclear-powered device would find.
After Burner graphics for Intel CPU
Another option would be to replace the otherwise used in Netbook and their lame verschrienen Intel Graphics Chipset NVIDIA's new Ion technology to use. Ion Netbook still need an Atom processor from Intel, are but with a relatively fixed graphics equipped.
The makes a Netbook not only for HD-video player, but in moderation spieltauglich. Above all, however, could be on Ion Netbook Windows Vista install. But yet there is no single example of such a device. And even as the price obtained for such a device would be called, there is still great guesswork.
What makes is a Netbook from? Are they really the three things you usually andichtet the devices - so that they are small, economical and cheap to be? Or, are now also other devices on the Netbook?
