Acer 11.6 Netbook: Big Screen, Lightweight, And Priced Right

In today's tough economic environment, finding the "best bang for your bucks" is more important than ever. This economic credo is particularly important for things that we need to make our lives easier or let us be more productive. Take for example, the laptops that we use. Being online is vital for students who do research and travelling business professionals who must communicate with their associates through email. They use laptops. But laptops can be very expensive (as in thousands of dollars), cumbersome (as in over a foot-and-a-half wide), and heavy (as in 3-5 lbs).

Here come the netbooks. These are laptops but have been reduced to its essence for net surfing, messaging, and light work such as paper composition or reports. They are small and compact. 9 to 10 inch screens are the trend. Also, professionals and students will love the netbook's average weight of less than 3 lbs. They're much easier and lighter to carry. Easily as important is the netbook's price. You can have one for less than $500.
