Hardware, Embedded Systems There's a new hype going on in the world of computing. I used to call them 'tiny laptops', but somewhere along the way, Intel's marketing got at me and now I call them netbooks. Every self-respecting manufacturer has a netbook product line, or is about to introduce one (Apple?), so I figured I would take a look at what all the fuss is about: I bought a netbook.

MacBook Air for the small lightweight end, MacBook for the mid range, MacBook Pros for the high grade. Unless the author wanted cheap and small laptops. I doubt apple will make them, as apple tries to avoid the low end, unless they really have to. As the small and cheap notebooks while may have a decent processor have tiny low res screen 1024x600 is now low res... sorry... For people who use OS X low resolution is a killer. OS X is really good on high resolution screens. Linux is better for low res screens, Windows kinda handles the middle. Now there are the pluses and minuses to these methods but if OS X doesn't look good on it. Apple won't release it.
