There is now a new type of lightweight laptop on the market that's designed primarily for web surfing, emails and messaging, the Netbook. It's small in price and size making it a cool ultra-portable laptop. They usually have screens that are 7 to 10in and there's no CD/DVD drive, plus the USB ports are kept to a minimum. They utilise the small Intel Atom processor that has been specifically designed for the job as it doesn't require cooling. It either runs a cut-down version of Windows XP or the Linux OS and connects to the web via Wi-Fi, so you'll need to track down your wi-fi hotspots. In addition they use a solid-state drive which uses less power and dosen't hog system resources.

They are never going to be a replacement for your home PC but they are a small and convenient portable secondary device that you can use on the move. Most of them are under £300 so check them out at Cool Amazon Notebooks today!
