Also known as “sub-notebooks” or “mini-laptops”, the Intel-coined term “netbook” is now predominantly used to refer to low-power, low-priced, lightweight laptops that seem to be all the rage this year. Most of them are smaller than a paperback book and thinner than some print magazines, but they are terrible gaming, video editing and overall multimedia systems. But if you spend a lot of time on the Internet, a netbook may be your next computer: You get truly portable form-factor, often a decent battery and enough oomph to handle web surfing, email, IM/VoIP/videoconferencing, document editing and managing photos and music. Analysts believe that 2009 will be the year of netbooks and some predict Apple will redefine the category with a $600 Mac netbook.
