(NC)—In the world of personal computers, no segment is selling faster than the tiny netbook.

Netbooks are like “laptop lites,” packing less power but more punch at retail, as budget-conscious consumers open up their wallets more willingly for the modestly priced computers.

With an average screen size of around 10 inches, most netbooks are about the same size as a small box of cookies. The compact size requires a trade-off in computing power, making them a great choice for consumers whose main activities involve web browsing and email.

But with options like the Acer Aspire One 10.1 netbook, which retails for under $400 and features an Intel Atom N270 processor and Windows Vista Basic, you are guaranteed a solid computing experience even on a small budget.

Netbook's small size also makes it the perfect choice for people on the go. With the number of available pay-for-use and free wireless hot spots across Canada growing everyday, it's easier than ever to stay connected to information, friends and families through email, Windows Live Messenger or favourite social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. The netbook makes it easy when you are traveling—just throw it in your bag and head for the nearest coffee shop hot spot.

For price, performance and portability, today's Netbooks make a great option for consumers looking for a great computing experience on a small budget.
