By its nature, a netbook should be compact and lightweight. We willingly sacrifice a certain degree of functionality for the convenience of portability because, for most people, a netbook is not their primary computer.
Netbooks work best as a highly mobile secondary device and as such shouldn’t be encumbered by bulky accessories. In most cases, users are content with Internet and email access, and don’t need additional amenities like a widescreen monitor. More »

ASUS’ unique tablet and PC hybrid, the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer, created a lot of interest when it was first announced. And now it is getting a lot of good reviews for its unique take on mobile computing.
The ASUS EEE Pad Transformer got a lot of interest when it was first announced. Here’s a product that bridges the gap between the internet tablet and a netbook. The EEE Pad Transformer sports two unique and separate parts, which are sold as a bundle or separately. The first part, which is the brains of the whole device, is the tablet part. It comes equipped with a Tegra 250 chip and runs on Android 3.0, or Honeycomb. People who have bought the Transformer tablet report great, zippy performance thanks to its processor chip. The screen is no slouch either, as it generates HD resolutions of 1280×800.
The second part of the Transformer combo is the keyboard. The tablet connects to the keyboard and what you get is the typical netbook configuration. The tablet firmly docks onto the keyboard, which also has a trackpad for real netbook-style navigation.
The general consensus among users is that the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer works perfectly for what it is designed for – light computing and as a cross between a tablet and netbook experience. The processor is zippy enough to do the most common tasks associated with a tablet or a netbook – general computing and light gaming. It also allows the users to experience having a tablet and then have the option to work more efficiently with the attached keyboard, because, really, typing on a screen can be quite hard.

Netbooks, particularly the Eee PC (duh), are great. You can take them everywhere, they’re relatively fast, and they’re good enough to allow you to finish your tasks without crashes. However, I’m not a big fan of their storage options. Either you get a really fast SSD that contains only around 32 GB of storage, or a hard drive that has 250 GB of storage, but only has 5400RPMs. Now if you’d like to have a hard drive with 320GB and 7200RPMs, check out this video posted by Netbook Reports.
What are the advantages of upgrading your hard drive other than the obvious storage gains, you ask? Netbook Reports answers that:
In addition to being faster over the stock hard drive, it also offers a 16MB cache to help load larger files faster, and also includes:
Low power consumption – With technologies like IntelliSeek, which calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption and SecurePark, which reduces power by parking the heads during low power idle mode, this drive delivers 5400 RPM-equivalent power consumption in a 7200 RPM drive.
Quiet – In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD’s exclusive WhisperDrive combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market.
Reliable – ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks during shipping and handling and in daily operation.

Automated systems, and fast emails, it comes down to how you will set the MS Exchange, but it is definitely one you can work with.
