Netbook Review

Sub-$300 Laptops: Where the Action Will Be

Prices of netbooks went down again today! The top ten selling notebooks listed today on Amazon.com (a trusted e-tailer) are mostly netbooks (and Macs). Your title mistakenly calls netbooks LAPTOPS. Netbooks are a separate new class of notebooks.

Buyers need to read reviews and compare models before buying.
