The netbook is terrific because it is very portable. It's the perfect little computer for traveling (it fits in a handbag or backpack). And it's really durable, because there are no moving parts inside. It's great for students and kids, travelers, and people who hate cell phone and PDAs (like me) but who like ot be able to connect to the Internet to check mail or look things up online while out. I have often been out on the road and wanted to look something up or do research in the Net (or check my business email) but couldn't because I didn't have a computer with me. I suppose I could always lug my 17", 25-pound laptop around, but that thing is very hard to carry and God forbid it should be stolen (it's expensive). Netbooks are also great for using around the house, like in the kitchen to check recipes or to carry around the house without the fear of busting the thing (like I do with my huge laptop). Hope that helps! Great question. The netbook is terrific because it is very portable. It’s the perfect little computer for traveling (it fits in a handbag or backpack).

I just can't think how I would need it. In what cases would you find to use this? I just can’t think how I would need it.
