1. Netbook vs iPad Saphaire Nieve and Iashah Niazi

1.1. Netbook

1.1.1. Pros

1.1.1.1. Iashah Niazi Stay productive on the road. From note-taking to loading presentations to Skyping, Pamela Gilchrist, 45, president and CEO of Cincinnati-based PR firm PR-Link, swears by her new Acer Aspire One: "It's much easier for business travel," she says. "[It's] quickly becoming my 'can't do without' item." http://bmighty.informationweek.com/mobile/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=217700496

1.1.2. Cons

1.1.2.1. Iashah Niazi Many netbooks come sans disc drives or the memory and speed needed to run certain programs. http://bmighty.informationweek.com/mobile/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=217700496

2. Netbook

2.1. Need To Know

2.1.1. http://media.wiley.com/product_data/excerpt/36/04705212/0470521236.pdf

3. Chromium

3.1. Cons:

3.1.1. 1. The operating system is based on Linux and will run only on specifically designed hardware

4. Processors

4.1. Intel's Atom

4.1.1. Cons

4.1.1.1. The conclusion is that the new platform with the Intel Atom N450 main processor, the GMA 3150 graphics, and the memory controller on a single die delivers a better power efficiency and has minor performance benchmark differences when compared to the previous Atom netbooks with the N270/N280 CPUs and the GMA 950 graphics. - Samantha Noyes http://laptoping.com/intel-atom-n450-reviews-benchmarks.html

4.1.2. Pros

4.1.2.1. One of the most significant features of the new platform is the integration of memory controller and graphics into the CPU, a first in the industry on x-86 chips. That means two chips (CPU+chipset) instead of the previous three (CPU, chipset, I/O controller hub), a lower TDP, and substantial reductions in cost, overall footprint and power. The netbook platform features a 20 percent improvement in average power and a smaller package size over the previous Atom platform. This translates into smaller and more compact system designs and longer battery life. Because of the integration, the total footprint for the netbook platform has decreased by approximately 60 percent. For entry level desktop PCs, it's a nearly 70 percent reduction in footprint and about 50 percent lower TDP than the previous generation. - Samantha Noyes http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/2009/20091221comp_sm.htm

4.1.2.2. The incredibly small yet surprisingly capable Intel® Atom™ processor lets you put the Internet and basic computing in more places in your home and on the go. Pair a 3G- or 4G-enabled Intel® Atom™ processor-powered device with a broadband service package from your service provider and connect virtually anywhere. - Samantha Noyes http://www.intel.com/consumer/products/processors/atom-family.htm

4.1.3. The conclusion is that the new platform with the Intel Atom N450 main processor, the GMA 3150 graphics, and the memory controller on a single die delivers a better power efficiency and has minor performance benchmark differences when compared to the previous Atom netbooks with the N270/N280 CPUs and the GMA 950 graphics.- Samantha Noyes http://laptoping.com/intel-atom-n450-reviews-benchmarks.html

4.2. ARMS

5. OS

5.1. Windows 7

5.1.1. Pros:

5.1.1.1. 1. Microsoft offers 6 versions of Windows 7. Which are, starter, Home premium, Professional, Ultimate, OEM, and Enterprise. (M.D.C.)

5.1.1.2. 2. Search results include a snippet and highlights the snippet more clearly. This feature is to appeal people who juggle large numbers of documents and also for people who just want to find files faster. (M.D.C)

5.1.1.2.1. http://reviews.cnet.com/windows/microsoft-windows-7-professional/4505-3672_7-33704140-2.html?tag=txt;page

5.1.2. Cons:

5.1.2.1. 1. The search engine is available by default only in the Start Menu and in Windows Explorer, and cannot be easily added to the Taskbar. (M.D.C.)

5.1.2.1.1. http://reviews.cnet.com/windows/microsoft-windows-7-professional/4505-3672_7-33704140-2.html?tag=txt;page

5.1.2.2. 2. Bluetooth Driver support no longer comes baked into the operating system. If you need a Bluetooth Driver, you'll either need the installation disc on hand or you'll have to go download it. (M.D.C)

5.1.2.2.1. http://reviews.cnet.com/windows/microsoft-windows-7-professional/4505-3672_7-33704140-2.html?tag=txt;page
