The Best Netbook 2015 Choices

Some are looking for the best netbook computer to enable them to have internet access on the move. Others want the best model for gaming on-the-go or to use the various computer applications.

When it comes to making your choice do check out the netbooks from Toshiba, HP, Asus, Acer, and indeed others to work out which netbook best meets your needs. Regardless of which netbook you choose, you will generally find that they weigh less than 5 pounds. This makes them both portable and convenient for all your needs.

Do take a look at the Acer Aspire One series which is one of the best netbook ptions that you will find. Their computers are considered to be both sleek and stylish. They also have some really great features for the price.

They offer a range of different models and many of the models do offer longer battery life than many of their competitors. Other Acer models are also at the top of the list with Acer having established a firm reputation in the netbook market.

Asus is also one of the best netbook computer choices. With them you can rely on the models being both efficient and, cutting-edge. They are also very reasonably priced when you consider everything that you get. They also offer touchscreen models that will you don't have to worry about a touchpad or a mouse.

Does An 11.6" Netbook Solve The Biggest Problem?

So is an 11.6" netbook an effective alternative to a standard notebook? Netbook computers have been one of the most popular categories of computers over the last couple of years, but they have quite a few drawbacks.

Screen size, keyboard size, processor speed and memory are just a few of the trade-offs you have to make. The latest models are coming with larger screens and getting to be more and more similar to standard notebooks, however.

Let's be honest. When you get into the 11 inch range for screen sizes, the line between a netbook and a notebook is starting to blur. They're getting to be just about as big as a notebook, and the weight is also similar. There are still a couple of advantages, mind you - battery life and price. So don't write them off completely.

Most of the major brands are making 11 inch netbooks now, such as the HP Mini 311-1037NR and the Acer Aspire AO721-3574. These companies have a full range of notebook computers, so they wouldn't be in this market if there wasn't a demand for it. Nor would they be likely to take it on if it was going to cannibalize their other models, which often sell for more money.

The two biggest advantages of 11 inch netbooks were already mentioned above - battery life and price. While the prices are considerably more than a comparable 10 inch netbook, they're still well under what a standard notebook would cost, at least for a reasonably good model.

And because netbooks use processors that consume less power, their battery life is considerably longer. If you need a notebook that will give you a full 8 hours of battery life, a netbook is going to be the only option unless you want to cart around spare batteries and worry about switching them out throughout the day.

Keep in mind that some 11 inch machines, like the Lenovo ThinkPad X100E are not actually netbooks. They are considered "ultraportables" which are generally much more expensive, but a lot more powerful as well. This is something to keep in mind when you're comparing one model to another.
