Wednesday, January 28, 2009Six Low-Priced, Fast-Selling Laptops
Smaller than an ultra-portable laptop and designed primarily for Web surfing and e-mail, the hope was that these light-duty machines would carve out a new market sector as consumers' second- or even third-tier PCs — the equivalent of the kitchen TV.
The devices themselves have screen sizes of roughly 7 inches to 10 inches; they have USB ports, multi-card slots and most have an Ethernet port. Onboard memory generally stops at one gigabyte (GB). Storage starts at a tiny 4 GB Flash-based solid-state-drive (SSD) and goes up as high as 160 GB with a traditional hard drive. Most come loaded with variants of either Windows XP Home or Linux. |
