Netbooks

Yesterday I read an article in Wired magazine about how netbooks are changing the PC market. Netbooks are small, low performance laptops meant to connect us to the web and run a few small apps. These cheap computers have surprising popularity and have shown that consumers are evaluating their computer needs before purchase instead of simply buying the most power they can afford. Many are finding that they do not require a blazing fast gaming machine, tons of storage and big screens. Let's face it, many of us use e-mail, surf web pages, play around on web sites and apps like facebook. So why buy a thousand laptop when a three hundred dollar netbook would do?

In this organizing blog we often speak about getting rid of the things you don't need so they don't create clutter and distract you from the important things in life. But one step better than purging the items you don't need is to never buy them in the first place. Some critical thinking at the purchase stage can save money, and as evidenced by the rapid adoption of Netbooks consumers are. questioning the utility of those $1,000 laptops and realizing that when it comes to computing power, less is more...money in the bank.
