You may have heard the word "netbook" used recently. This is a new class of computer that has came about in recent years and has become very popular throughout this year.

A netbook is basically a small and cheap laptop computer.
Laptop computers have been made this small for quite some time, but have never been so affordable. Most of these modern netbooks use a new ultra-effecient processor from Intel called the Atom processor.

Netbooks are great for:

* Those needing a new, portable computer at the cheapest price
* Those who need a light and very portal computer
* An extra family computer
* Children learning to use a computer
* Frequent business travelers
* Technology or gadget enthusiasts
* Technicians

Keep the following points in mind when shopping for a netbook:

* Try out the computer in-person, talk to people who own or have used a netbook.
* At least 1GB of RAM recommended
* Look for the 1.6GHz (or faster) Intel Atom processor. There are other processors out there that might be comparable, but this is the best processor currently available for netbooks.
* Try the keyboard and trackpad. You will find a significant difference between manufactures and different sizes of netbooks. Some keyboards or trackpads you may find are inpractacle to use.
* Hard drive vs. solid state drive:
o Hard drive based netbooks have a traditional hard drive with spinning platters and a reading arm. You will typically get more capacity for your money. Typically these are slower than solid state, but that varies widely between models. Considering solid state drives are still very new, getting a netbook with a hard drive will likely be the best choice.
o Solid state hard drives are like a USB thumb (or key) drive. They have no moving parts and typically read and write data faster than a traditional hard drive. These devices are still new technology, so you don't get much storage for your money, and speed can vary widely between netbook models. But if you need a computer than you can drop on the floor with less worry about loosing data, then a solid state drive is the best option.
* Check the operating system:
o Windows is likely most appropriate for most. It's the operating system most people are confortable with. Look for Windows XP, Vista will likely operate to slow.
o Linux: many netbooks come with Linux installed. This operating system comes in many different varieties, the exact variety, look, and feel depends on the manufacturer of the the device. Linux may be faster than Windows and can be better for essential computing needs like email and web browsing, and may save you a few bucks compared to Windows-based netbooks.

i didnt buy a netbook yet, and i dont think i'm getting one anytime soon. i just got a new 14 inch laptop kasi. it's not as big as 17 inch laptops but it's fully featured and it can run heavy games. its still small enough to bring around with me but its just too heavy to carry with one hand. but i still might get a netbook, because it's easier to bring around... but i dont think thats anytime soon...

for mac osx installation,

the dell mini 9 is the best. everything works. unfortunately, dell has already stopped production of the best hackinetbook.

i would say go with the msi wind as everything works except for some audio input output issues but this is being solved. . .
the msi wind u100 160gig hdd, 1gig ram, 6 cell battery costs only 16,500 at pc corner, brand new.

lenovo s10 is also ok as the only issue is the wired ethernet only.

here is a comparison of netbooks which can be good mac os minis.
