Keyboard (keyboard) that mini also be one reason for a person to avoid netbook, it just supports the work of typing and productivity of small scale.
Netbook screen size and resolution do not support high-resolution graphics. Do not expect a netbook capable of playing heavy games or play HD video. The screen size makes your eyes tired quickly. Especially when used to open the internet browser, a web page much interrupted by toolbars and the status bar of the browser. This is really torture for parents, they should look in close proximity to be able to read the text.

He had the characteristic shape of a thin, lightweight, and a large screen. But it still has high performance. Category pioneered by Intel has been equipped with an Intel Core i3 to Core i7.
Price ultrabook on the market today can be called expensive, but the price will eventually go down. The signs were already visible, because the competition is getting tougher computer devices. Inevitably manufacturers will offer a competitive price.
There is also a new category of portable computer that combines the function of the tablet and ultrabook. Some call it a convertible, but there is also a call hybrid PC. Whatever their mention, obviously it has the function of a tablet, with the physical form of lighter, thinner and faster performance.
