Netbooks or ultraportables as they are often also called, have changed a lot since they hit the market as now these super thin laptop models truly do boast the power of a laptop in a compact size that is small enough at times to even slide into a large handbag. Given the big advances that have been made in netbooks over the past few years there is a lot more detail to check out before purchasing a netbook, as well as a great deal of features and software that you should look for to make sure you are getting the best deal for what you are willing to spend.

First of all, when you purchase a netbook you should look for one that comes with expansion ports that can handle up to four gigabytes of RAM, although you will not really need more than this as the average 32 bit OS will not be able to take much more. The reason that you want this high of a number is so that even if you max out the RAM the netbook will still operate at a fast system and it will allow you to upgrade as needed so that your system will continue to support your operations.

Next, you should expect the netbook to have at least a promise of six hours of battery life. Netbooks are meant to be used on the go and most manufacturers can offer this quality, if you are paying a few hundred quid for your netbook and still facing a short battery life then you are getting ripped off. Also, although the small sleek sizes of the seven inch models may be appealing, keep in mind that it’s a better idea to go with a ten inch screen because the fact of the matter is that when it comes to working on the netbook three inches makes a big difference.
