Netbooks?... To buy or not to buy



Ok... after that incredibly detailed entry about MW2 by David , We move onto something a bit more commercial. So a friend of mine was thinking of upgrading his laptop , after realising that some mobiles were far more capable than his good ol lappy. But here's the dilemma He asked me for advice and I really cant make up my mind to which one to recommend. Very appropriately i went on the mighty google and searched for two simple words "Best Laptop", it quickly came with a billion results in some nano seconds , but sadly none of them had anything to do with a laptop so i continued my search. After extensively rummaging through the dungeons of laptop review sites , i stumbled upon something called a " NET BOOK " if you look at it , it basically means a book with net, to an extent it is that , except the net in this case is the internet!

I could go on about the GHZs and TBs but its not the point , these machines weren't made to watch the 720p videos never mind editing them , neither they were made to play any of those games whose names consist of merely 3 letters i.e WOW or COD. what netbooks were made to do was to be small enough to go anywhere with you without you having to look like a gay hooker carrying a fendi bag to ur next client. oh and provide you with mobile computing on the go , ooooooohhhh sounds ermmmm geeky? lol . So yh as teh sayin goes You win some you loose some , but in this case you do loose quite ALOT actually , Disc Drives , Hard Drive Capacity , Processing Power are just few of them , oh and not to mention Your eyesight , which will be sooner or later lost trying to read text off webpages looking into that 8 inch screen , which pretty much feels like havin a wank when ur footy team is losing 1-0 to their arch rivals. So although it might be cheap and claiming to be portable be which it might just be, it still has the capability to ruin your love life, make you loose your friend and your eyesight. So unless you are planning to spend the rest of your life as a disabled lifeless retard , I'd reckon you stay away from netbooks and get a proper computer....! Maybe a Mac?:P
