The evolution of the netbook
ByA year and a half after their first introduction into the market netbook, ultraportable and lightweight computers, recorded a resounding success.
By the end of the year 2009 are projected to be sold around the world to 257 million netbooks.
As with any technological product of success, popularity and the high popularity of netbooks made it inevitable diversification of this category of products.
Every day we witness announcements of new models built by various manufacturers, reflecting the fact that you are in a real developmental stage.
Changes made by the first models of netbooks basically concern the expansion of the display, leading to a size 10 “, and the aesthetic appearance (design forms, etc..).
The display plus the netbook comes at the expense of weight in some specimens is permitted up to 1.5 kg.
Regarding the design, the shape of the character initially netbooks and Spartan were overcome by a design style that brings this category of products to laptops.
From here there will be little to the formation of two subcategories of netbooks intended to assert itself: the netbook category of consumer and that of the netbook business.
The two categories of netbooks are distinguished not so much for quality but for the design. A very important consideration that comes out of this division is that netbooks are no longer ‘a product to be placed in low-end computing market, their choice becomes increasingly broad as to be more’ or less suited to the needs of each.
The model Asus Eee PC 1002HA is the most significant example of the approach to the world of netbook notebook from which shots are mainly aesthetic.
Another example of consumer netbook is offered by HP Compaq Mini 700, which incorporates design and materials of the line Pavilion.
Netbook manufacturers may also decide to use construction technologies already tested in notebooks, for example the Samsung NC10 inherits technology from notebooks Protect-o-Edge responsible for ensuring durability and reliability, the Silver Nano technology to sterilize the keyboard.
But the aesthetics and style are not the only innovative features of the netbook, the new generation of hardware will use the material most technologically ‘advanced in order to reduce the gap that separates the ultra-portable notebook computer.
Summing up we can ’say that the first products of netbooks were nothing more than “experiments” of gadgets whereas now the same category is crowded with cars coming increasingly close to traditional notebooks.
Another interesting detail is that the future Acer Aspire One will be configured with an Intel Atom Z530 joined by a new chipset and Daun Intel GMA500 graphics with hardware decode H.264.
And being built on the Dell Inspiron Mini 11 netbook with 11-inch display, whose output is scheduled for July traded at a price of 499 U.S. dollars.
