But it comes at the cost of performance. Intel Atom is a single core low performance CPU, even slower than an old Pentium M. But it is good enough for general computing tasks like word processing, PowerPoint presentations, internet, movies and music. One more concern is the keyboard and touchpad size, some newer netbooks with 10" screens have an ok keyboard, but those old 7" netbooks have a very tiny one.  Another thing is that they don’t have an optical drive. But if you really need one you can hook up an external drive. Almost all major notebook manufactures (Lenovo, HP, DELL, Acer, Asus, Sony, Toshiba etc..) make netbooks. Outside Sri Lanka they cost around Rs30,000, but in SL around 50,000 (which IMO is too much for a netbook). <a href="http://www.laptop.lk/pdf/quotation.pdf" target="_blank">Take a look at this site</a> to get an idea about local Netbook and Notebook prices (netbooks are ones with Intel Atom PC)</blockquote>
