The laptop is considered as the portable and mobile version of personal computers. From time to time, various versions of these computers were developed along with varying features. But the latest version of laptops has captured a lot of interest lately in the industry and is called a netbook computer. Netbook computers are often referred to as low budget computers. When compared to the typical laptops, netbook computers are far cheaper with a price range starting at $230. They are also even smaller than notebooks which were the previous minute versions of a laptop.

Basically, netbook computers are so light that they weigh only 2 to 3 pounds and so small with screens measuring only 9 to 10 inches. You are even encouraged to be creative with its keyboard size which is just 80 to 95 percent to that of a typical laptop. But then, netbook computers are not bound to be heavy duty as they have less power and only run on older types of operating systems like the Linux and Windows XP.

One fine example of netbook computers is the Dell Mini Netbook Series. Included in the special line of products are the Dell Mini 9, 10, and 10v. The first model, the Mini 9 is so lightweight it weighs only 2.28 pounds and has a display monitor size of 8.9".

Another netbook computer from Dell is the Mini 10v that has a weight of about 2.5 pounds and a 10.1" display monitor. Though small, this amazing netbook computer is sure to spice up things through all of the cool and interesting features it comes with.

Netbook computers' very existence is to provide web users with laptops that have reasonable prices, are lightweight, and small. The traditional laptops and some other types usually are too expensive for everyone to purchase. However, netbook computers have far fewer ports compared to the conventional laptop, which is also one of the reasons why they are lower in price. They also have much less power compared to typical laptops making them incapable of performing heavy duty tasks like video presentations and video editing.

Generally, notebook computers only weigh 6 pounds or less which makes them very convenient to be carried in all sorts of places. Being extremely compact makes notebook computers fit in suitcases and other small carrying bags. One distinct characteristic of a notebook computer is its display screen. Flat-panel technologies are often used on many notebook computers allowing it to have a slim and compact display screen.

In the industry today, Dell is known to be one of the leading names that produce the best quality of computers and software. Comprising its line are the Inspiron Series, Studio and Studio XPS Series, Alienware, and Adamo. The sizes of display screens of Inspiron Series measure from 11" to 17". All of the models in this series are considered to be lightweight weighing 3.05 pounds to 6.80 pounds. All of these notebook computers come with high definition widescreens that perfectly match all the sophisticated features applied into the units. Being able to purchase these notebook computers for less than $500 will definitely encourage you to buy more of these models for your friends and relatives.
