Christmas is few days away and some of you probably still haven't finished shopping or some of you might have not even started. Netbooks have recently become a big hit and would make for a nice Christmas present for a loved one or for oneself. However, I would like to warn you before purchasing one. If you do not have a functioning desktop or laptop do not purchase a netbook in order to replace that one. Netbooks have little memory and can't process many applications at the same time. Also they are not very good with playing videos like from Youtube.com etc. Furthermore, they do not have a DVD/CD hardrive. So you won't be able to play any movies on dvd or games on CD. Also if you get one with windows 7 starters you wont be able to change the background, it will keep it with the standard window 7 background. Other than that netbooks are pretty fun, easy to carry and have a long battery life. If you are always on the go and want a computer to perform simple tasks like surfing the web or writing up a document ( nothing too complicated) than this is the right computer for you. However, it would be a bad idea to get a netbook in order to substitute a notebook or a desktop (for the reasons that i have stated above). Alright, with that note in mind i wish you happy shopping days :)
