A netbook is a mini laptop that has been designed for wireless communication and accessing the Internet. This gadget is ideal for checking emails, viewing documents, listening music and for doing another types of tasks. An individual can easily browse the various websites and can access web-based applications. These widgets support Linux or Windows XP operating systems instead of resource-intensive operating systems as Windows Vista. A person can use netbooks for word processing, spreadsheet work etc.

There are some tips that should remind us before purchasing a netbook:-

Know Your Requirement: – Before buying any netbook, you should determine your requirements. Netbooks are the form of laptops that can be used for accessing various applications. If you want to use iTunes with your iPhone or iPod, it means that you need a netbook that is compatible with Windows XP.

Screen Size: – Whenever you go for purchasing the netbooks, you should choose the screen size according to your requirements. Normally, netbooks come with three screen sizes and 7 inches is the smallest one. The resolution of this screen is 800 x 480. Another one is 8.9 inches that comes equipped with 1024 x 600 resolutions. The largest screen size in netbooks is 10.2 inches and the resolution of this is 1024 x 600.

Keyboard: – Another main thing in netbooks is that these gadgets come enhanced with smaller keyboards. You should remember that the smaller netbook come with small size keyboard. So if you frequently use the keyboard for typing, you should consider this thing too.

Heavy Extended battery: – Many people want to buy a netbook only for surfing the web. Netbooks come equipped with either standard or extended batteries that have usually 3-cell or 6-cell batteries. If you want to use netbook for the long time, you should purchase the device that has long-life battery.

By concluding, we can say that netbooks are useful for those people who want to access Internet at the very high speed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different and Better, June 11, 2009
By Alexander Scherr – See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

I have owned both Kindle 1 and Kindle 2, so I’m already committed to the basic idea: e-ink reading in a slim form factor with excellent connectivity to a large selection of books and subscriptions. I have come to rely on my Kindle experience, and it has seriously enhanced my reading.

The DX was not an obvious upgrade for me, but two features put me over the edge: the larger screen, and the native PDF reader. I now have the DX in my hands, and can report PROS, CONS, and NEUTRALS:

PROS:

– the larger screen is a definite plus. I use the larger type size on my Kindle 2 (older eyes), and at this type size I get far more text per page on the DX. This makes the whole reading experience more book-like (and should be a boon to people who buy large-print books.)

– the screen is also sharper and crisper than my Kindle 2 in a side-by-side comparison: the text is darker, and the contrast is much better, making for better visibility overall.

– on a side note, the larger screen also makes it possible to read poetry on the kindle, even at large type sizes. On earlier Kindles, the smaller screen cut off lines, so that you would lose the sense of when the poet ended the line. On the DX, you can see the whole line exactly as the poet meant it, with the cut-off in the right spot.

– the PDF reader works as advertised, and is extremely convenient. PDF documents appear on the DX exactly as they do on a computer screen. Moreover, you can drag and drop your documents directly to the device using the USB cable (or use the for-a-fee email if you absolutely must.) The only downside: at least for the documents that I’ve used so far, I cannot adjust the type size as I can with native Kindle documents.

– screen rotation also works as advertised: it operates as a mild zoom on both graphics and text and offsets slightly the downside of not being able to adjust the typesize on PDF documents. One nice design touch: the four-way navigation stick introduced on the Kindle 2 is rotation-sensitive, and will move as expected relative to the screen rotation.

– more of the device space is devoted to the screen, while the white plastic border around the screen seems to have shrunk, both in general and compared to the proportion of screen to plastic on the Kindle 2. I like this (but see below about the keyboard).

– storage: I like the increase in storage space, and don’t mind the lack of an external storage card. I can see some people having trouble with this, but only those folks who either a) must regularly carry around PDF documents totalling more than 3.5 GB of space or b) must have nearly 3500 books regularly at their fingertips. I fall in neither category.

CONS:

– price: it’s expensive, as you can tell pretty quickly. If you value the larger size, and the native PDF reader, these features may justify the roughly 30% premium you pay for the DX over the Kindle 2. In truth, the DX SHOULD cost more than the Kindle 2, and a 30% premium isn’t unreasonable. But, for my money, Amazon should drop the price on the Kindle 2 to $300 or so, and charge $400 or a little less for the DX. Still, I bought it, and will keep it at this price.

– one-sided navigation buttons: all of the buttons are now on the right side, and none are on the left. I’m a righty, so I shouldn’t complain, but I found myself using both sides on the Kindle 2. Lefties have reason to complain, I think.

– One-handed handling: I often read while I walk, with my Kindle in one hand, and something else in my other. Because of the button layout, this will be more difficult on the DX.

– metal backing: I miss the tacky rubberized backing on my Kindle 1. When I placed my Kindle 1 on an inclined surface, it stayed in place. Not so my Kindle 2 and now my DX. This is not a complaint specific to the DX, but it’s still there.

NEUTRALS (i.e. things worth noting):

– weight: the DX is heavier, noticeably so. This is only an issue if, like me, you regularly use the kindle with one hand . . . and even so, it’s still doable.

– keyboard: the keyboard has 4 rows, and not 5: the top row of numbers from the Kindle 1 and 2 has been merged into the top qwerty row, so that numbers are now only accessible with an alt-key combination. The keys are vertically thinner too, so that the whole keyboard is no more than 1″ tall (compared to over an 1.5″ on the Kindle 2). At the same time, the keys themselves are a bit easier to press, a bit more protruding than on the Kindle 2. For someone with big fingers (like me), this will be a slightly harder keyboard to use, but only slightly.

That’s all I can see. Overall, the pluses outweigh the minuses for me, and I’m satisfied with my purchase. I can now think of using my DX for work documents on a regular basis, because of the PDF reader. The screen size and screen rotation make the overall reading experience more immersive.

Overall, the DX feels more like text and less like device and comes closer to the stated goal of the Kindle: for the device to disappear, leaving only the joy of reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars DX not quite all that, June 13, 2009
By Susan Lynn Umpleby “Susan Umpleby” (Ontario, CA USA) – See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

I owned the K1 and then the K2 and love them both, so I was really looking forward to the DX. My plan was to use the DX at home, and keep my K2 for carrying all over creation with me. It wasn’t long, though, after my DX arrived the day before yesterday before disappointment set in.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a LOT to like about the DX:

1) Pictures are awesome on it, if the publisher formats them properly.

2) Those who complain about darkness of text on their K2 (a problem I’ve never had, btw) will be thrilled by the DX’s very dark text.

3) The ability to rotate the screen is great. Gives you a closer look at things like maps and charts.

4) The browser is a bit faster than on the K1 or K2, though that isn’t saying much–it is still very clunky to use.

5) But web pages look pretty good on the DX.

6) It holds 3500 books.

BUT…..the DX just isn’t all that. It has drawbacks that are really making me consider sending it back before my 30 days are up:

1) First and foremost, while it is true that it natively reads PDFs, it is really only a PDF *viewer*. You can’t change the font size on PDFs, links will not function on them, and the ability to magnify pictures doesn’t work on them either. So you better have LARGE fonts on your PDF before you load it. Looking at the PDF in horizontal mode helps a bit, but not by much.

2) The DX is too big to hold comfortably. It’s not really all that heavy, but it is top heavy and you feel a pull on your hands. And that pull is really evident if you try to use the keyboard while holding it–you practically have to lay the DX down flat, it becomes so difficult to type.

3) They merged the number keys with the QWERTY keys (losing a line of keys). What development genius thought it would be helpful and an “improvement” to have to press the ALT key every time you wanted to type a number?!?

4) Before my DX came, I really didn’t think this would bother me at all, but I have to say: I really HATE the fact that the “next page” button is only on one side. I mostly use the left hand button. And yes, with the DX’s rotation ability you can turn it upside down, placing the “next page” button on the left side…. However, when you do this, the button is so high up that you have to slide your hand (not your thumb, your whole hand) up in order to turn the page. May sound nit-picky, but it is truly a PITA to break off reading to do it. Not only that, but having the keyboard at the top makes it even more top-heavy than when it is right side up!

5) when you rotate the DX so that it is horizontal, the “next page” button is either at the bottom or the top–in either case you can’t just flick your thumb and change the page. Again, a PITA.

6) If you leave the rotation feature on “Auto” when you are not using your DX it drains your battery, so you must remember to turn the feature off when you stop reading.

7) Still no folders. An organization nightmare three times bigger than that of the K2 (which itself had increased the same problem on the K1): the possibility of storing 3500 books but only being able to sort them by author, title, and “most recent first.”

I will be fiercely debating with myself in the next week or so, on whether I really want to keep the DX. It is so disappointing. It has the potential of being a really great e-reader…but as it stands now, it isn’t. It’s OK. But for $489, it should be a lot more than merely OK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry Sony PRS-505… I’m moving on, June 11, 2009
By Mahlers2nd “Mom of Many Interests” – See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
FIRMWARE UPDATE as of 11.30.2009:

I have now M-Edge Platform Jacket for Kindle DX (Genuine Leather–Pebbled Navy)–Back to School Sale!! because you can set the Kindle up to stand by itself on the table next to you or a lap desk. This makes it easier to to view music, knitting patterns, or just plain books (addressing some users complaints about it being “too heavy” to hold comfortably).

I had been disappointed that the Kindle automatically goes to sleep after 5 minutes because if you are using the Kindle for reading patterns or music, it times out on you while you are still “working” on a page. However, Amazon come out with a new firmware release… the Kindle DX now stays on for 20 minutes before going into screen saver mode which is a big improvement.

In addition, with the new firmware, you have the option of converting your PDFs to Kindle format — which should address the lack of “zoom” and “annotation” features — at least there is a workaround for now.

UPDATE as of 06.16.2009: The Kindle may have just literally saved my career and saved my “backend”. I had an interview yesterday and thought I knew where I was going. I’m one of the last dinosaurs not to have a Garmin and got lost. After circling around for awhile and getting more and more uptight about missing my interview, I remembered the Browser on the Kindle.

On the K2, the browser was basically unusable because of the size. However, with the DX, I was able to go to Google Maps, look up the address and had my directions in just a couple of seconds. The map was rendered beautifully and the turn-by-turn directions could be bookmarked and even if my DX fell asleep, it awoke still displaying the directions. THANK YOU KINDLE!!!
