I have found myself increasingly lusting for a netbook. The only thing holding me back, save a lack of funds, is whether or not the smaller sized keyboards are useable. It’s no surprise that netbooks are extremely popular, given perfectly appropriate feature sets at affordable prices, putting mobile, wireless computing in reach of those typically left behind.
If you’re not sure if a netbook is for you, DVICE has a rundown of common features and Lifehacker runs down their list of top five user-submitted faves. On the basis of specs, considering weight, keyboard size, battery life, options and features, and filtered for price, I think my top five choices would be the Samsung NC10, the Lenovo S10, the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, the Acer Aspire One, and the ASUS EEEPC 1000HE.
