Selecting correct netbook PC look a little overpowering, but after you make few cautious thoughts it can be simple. Netbooks are hottest thing in PC sales, as majority of laptop users where only using their PCs for internet access and with their camera. They were overpaying for PC with more aspects than they utilized. Also laptop batteries only last between 2-3 hours. You can't get much done in this amount of time. This explanation assist you sort out few netbook features to help you select correct one for requirements.

Instructions

1. Step 1

See choices available for netbook batteries. If you really plan to make this a convenient PC, put a heavy emphasis on getting a netbook with above a 3 cell battery. Netbook batteries with 6 cell batteries can obtain 5.5 to 8 hours between charging. Batteries with 9 cells can obtain up to 12 hours of life. The problem of having a larger battery besides price is weight. Larger batteries will include a pound or two to netbook and stick out of back of the case.

2. Step 2

Choose your OS. You must go with old standby in XP home or step up with new Windows 7. My suggestion is that if you are thinking a netbook with Vista, skip it and find with much better Windows 7. It runs great on a netbook with only 1 GB of ram. You must choose whether you prefer Windows 7 starter or XP Home.

3. Step 3

See the processor. Netbooks now come with Intel Atom N270 as a standard processor. This is a single core processor with a 1600 MHz clock speed, a 533 MHz FSB, and a 512 KB L2 Cache. This processor is able of hyper threading and can be utilized in a 32 bit OS. This processor was intended for size, effectiveness, energy utilize, and to keep cool. These are all attributes for a solid convenient PC. There is also a little faster Atom N280 available.

Prevent Intel Atom Z520, Z530, and Z540 processors as these were intended for internet mobile devices and not particularly for netbooks. In 2010 two new netbook processors will be out, both will be quicker. There will be N450 and N470. They will both be single core, so no use in waiting.

4. Step 4

Think about the kinds of memory cards that PC will read. Few netbooks have readers that will identify 2-3 types of various cards. If camera or other device utilizes memory kinds like XD or Sony memory sticks, then you want to confirm netbook you are thinking reads these cards. Usually, Gateway and HP netbooks read many types of cards.
