    Default Would you recommend Netbook...?

    I am thinking of purchasing a Netbook for my sister for her to be able to talk to me online (mainly using webcam...she has no experience with computers and therefore i plan to set up everything to start autonatically when she powers up, and show her the basics of how to start the cam etc. My question however is this, would you recommend a netbook for someone with no computer exp, or would it be better i get her a regular laptop?

    I'd have to say go with the netbook, even if it get damaged God forbid, you'll only be spending less than $500 anyway, plus because of the lighter weight and less moving parts i think a netbook is a good buy for a newbie.

    if & when when she falls in love with the technology, she might not appreciate the laptop...remember the netbook is very portable and convenient...and we all know females (most of them) love sleek and sexy over big and bulky as it relates to Technology I'd say go with the netbook...

    Acer netbooks are weak on the overall battery life. They typically average around 2 1/2hrs after a full charge. I would recommend looking at the ASUS EEE PC or Samsung NC line of netbooks. The models are the following:

    - ASUS EEE 1000HE
    - ASUS Seashell
    - ASUS EEE T91 (tablet, releasing during this month) + Solid State Drive
    - Samsung NC120

    All of the above quoted will give you about 5 - 9.5hrs of run time after a full charge. The Webcam is integrated, therefore, programmes such as Skype and MSN will start-up automatically if that option is turned on.

    well if money isnt a factor get them asus as i am sure with 9.5 hr battery cells its nto going to be cheap..

    I would say get the acer still reason being 2hr run time minimal thing ..we living in modern times now electrical outlets deh all bout ..Am i correct ..

    Plus if people find laptops to consume less energy than the normal desktop..wow imagine switching to a netbook u can have that plugged in all day and it doesnt even reflect much on you power usage.I might be deemed wrong but as i said if money isnt a factor gettign a netbook with 2.5 hr battery isnt bad.


    But why not a full scale laptop i mean your sis is eventually going to wanna do more like burn dvds and stuff like that watch dvd movies..

    If u go netbook you rprob gonna have to be buying detachable units for expansion which is eventually gonna be a prob for those not computer savvy ..
