Best Netbooks and battery For Professional Use (2)
Second Portable Computers
When it comes to getting a netbook as a second portable dell laptop battery computer, the decision centers around what your other laptop is like. If you have a big desktop replacement class laptop that weighs in at close to 9 pounds or more, then even a 4-pound netbook will feel like heaven to carry around. If, on the other hand, you have a high-end ultraportable laptop that skims in at under 5.5 lbs. or so, then a 4 pounder isn’t going to be much of a treat. If that’s the case, go with the HP Mini 110 and enjoy the low weight when you can.
For a second portable computer, an Atom processor is a must. Older Celeron processors are simply too slow when paired with the skimpy memory, low heat, and noise hard drives in netbooks. Also, shoot for the biggest screen you feel comfortable with. Larger screens mean more room for a better keyboard Laptop Battery as well.
In this category, check out the Samsung M110 and M120, as well as the Acer Aspire One line. Again, focus on weight over dimensions, and make sure to include the weight of the power cable in your calculations if you envision setting up camp and plugging your guy in.
Netbooks to Avoid
Perhaps the best netbook advice comes in the form of what NOT to buy.
For starters, do not buy a netbook with the right shift key Inspiron 1100 battery small enough to be a letter key. Also, avoid keyboards that put the right shift key out and to the side of the keyboard. You’ll pull your hair out hitting the wrong keys as you type.
Just as important as the shift key is the BACKSPACE key. Unless you type perfectly every time, chances are that your typing involves hitting several letter keys, and then the backspace key over and over when you change your mind or make a mistake. Test the keyboard in the store and if every time you try and hit backspace you hit F12 or something, find a different Inspiron 5100 battery model.
Get the biggest hard drive instead of the solid state hard drive, which are smaller and slower than regular hard drives. The supposed benefit of these drives is that if you drop your netbook while it is writing to the disk it wouldn’t corrupt your SSD disk. I can count the number of times this has happened to me or anyone I know in the whole computing industry on one hand with no fingers. If you drop your netbook, hold your breath and hope it works out O.K., because you’re looking at 50/50 either 6T473 battery way.
Finally, stick with the lower priced netbooks. A quick search around the Internet about what to do with older netbooks should convince you that these things are disposable. If Microsoft sticks to its guns on pricing and sizing, you won’t ever get to upgrade to Windows 7 (unless you shell out 25% to 50% of the purchase price for a new low-cost netbook), especially if it comes with a screen bigger than the Inspiron 630m battery maximum allowable 10.1”.
Don’t forget, 1GB of RAM is obsolete already in all other machine segments. Would you consider buying a laptop with 1GB of RAM? In other words, these netbooks are already dragging the minimum hardware requirements along, software isn’t waiting, and since most of these units are not upgradeable, you’re just flushing Inspiron 640m battery money down the drain by buying an expensive notebook.
