Tapping into Netbook Technology
Laptops are old news these days. No matter what coffee shop or airport you’re sitting in, there are people in every corner typing away on tiny, portable machines. You’ve probably noticed that as technology changes, it often shrinks. Laptops have become smaller and smaller, and now we’ve arrived at netbooks.
What Is a Netbook?
Imagine a laptop, but make it about one half the size. It’s extremely portable, has all of the memory and application access most people need, and best yet – it is offered at a fraction of the price. While it’s true that netbooks tend to have less memory and a smaller screen, they are more than enough computer for most people to handle their immediate computer needs. They are easier to carry around, they are lighter, and yet they still allow employees to get to work when they are out of the office without risking the loss of an expensive machine.
So, is a netbook right for you? Well, the screen is smaller, so it really comes down to how much time needs to be spent on the screen. A writer, for example, may have a hard time using one for his or her job. An employee who needs to check on data and send communications, however, as well as have a link into the office could find a netbook to be ideal.
So, the next time you’re in the market for new laptops, why not consider netbooks? You could save some money and still allow your employees the freedom to be efficient even outside of the office.
