Read Netbook Reviews to Compare Prices and Check out Latest Features

A netbook is a smaller version of a notebook, which in turn, is the more compact version of a traditional 14 inch laptop. The average screen size of a netbook ranges from 5 to 12 inches, measured diagonally.

One of the reasons why the netbook has become a more popular choice for computer users over notebooks and laptops is its lighter weight and compact size. Both of these characteristics makes a netbook easier to carry and handle. Therefore, students are choosing netbooks over notebooks and laptops even though some of the computing features are missing from the former.

Here is a list of some netbook reviews in the market, along with their features and price:
