 Sometimes referred to as a mini notebook, mini laptop, or subnotebook, a netbook is a term coined by Intel that describes a type of portable computer that is about half the size of a traditional laptop and ranges between $250 and $600 US. To help reduce the overall cost these computers often come installed with a variant of Linux (although some can come with Windows), use much smaller screens, do not have a disc drive, and often use a solid state drive. To the right is an example picture of a popular brand of netbook, the ASUS Eee PC.These computers are a great solution for users who just want a basic computer to get onto the Internet with and do basic applications such as a word processor.
