Netbooks

Netbooks are smaller and are not as powered as normal computers. They don't have much space in it because of their size, and so it wouldn't be able to run XP Professional, Vista, or OS X. It can run Windows XP Home edition or Linux though. Netbooks don't include many things on it like places for CDs and Bluetooth. A big difference is that its storage meduim has a hard disk. Their battery life isn't much either like the low-end models have 3 cell batteries and higher-end models have 6 cells.

Even though Netbooks are underpowered, they are popular because they are easy to take anywhere.
