Best netbooks from buyers' reviews

At one time, netbooks were incredibly popular. Everyone wanted to buy a laptop computer, equipped with a display, the diagonal of which did not exceed 11.6 inches. This was explained by the fact that with very wide functionality such laptops were noticeably smaller than many portable devices. And this, in turn, made it easy to carry them with you. But then netbooks began to be replaced by tablets, ultrabukami and even large smartphones. Now it is extremely difficult to find netbooks on the shelves of stores. And the search for the best of them is at all akin to thinking about the location of a needle in a haystack.

Netbook which firm to choose

If you think, now no large company is currently producing netbooks. All went to tablets with a detachable keyboard and some other devices. But this does not mean that such laptops do not remain in warehouses and in stores. No, their stock is still huge. At the current level of demand, netbooks will be available until 2019.And further their future is already very vague. Be that as it may, a list of former manufacturers of netbooks will be familiar to you. After all, these are all the same companies that are engaged in the creation of traditional notebooks with a screen diagonal from 13 to 17 inches.

1. HP

2. ASUS

3. Acer

4. DELL

5. Apple

You can also find in the stores netbooks from Chinese manufacturers - they andless popular, and special quality workmanship do not differ. Not to mention that they often do not have a sufficient supply of power.
