Netbook Buyers Guide – Work In Progress

Posted by Tom Greer on August 22, 2008 in Acer Netbooks, Asus Netbooks, Site-related 

You’ll see a new menu item on our masthead.  It’s titled “Netbook Buyers Guide.” Right now, we’ve only completed work on the Acer Aspire One (Linux and Windows versions) and the Asus Eee PC 1000 and 1000H.  We’ll be adding several more every day.

The Netbook Buyers Guide is designed to give potential buyers all the information that they need to make a buying decision.

We’ve scoured the Internet and collected boatloads of information for each product.  Here is what you will find:

Features

For each netbook, we provide a quick list of its key features.  Since there are so many choices, we also note what it is that makes this netbook unique.

Specifications

You will find a complete set of specs for each netbook.  Prior to official introduction, these specs may be based on unofficial information.  However, once the manufacturer has published official specifications, we use these as our source.

Reviews

For most netbooks, there are dozens of reviews published on the Web.  You can spend hours Googling and still end up confused.  We plow through all of these for you and present only the best.  We usually group the reviews into three categories:

  • Best Quick Reviews
  • Best In-Depth Reviews
  • Reviews Comparing Other Netbooks

Videos

We find that video reviews are extremely helpful in selecting a netbook to purchase.  They show you the device in detail as they describe the features, often explaining why they like or dislike the way the feature has been implemented.  You simply cannot do this in a written review.  We group video reviews are follows:

  • Best Unboxing Video
  • Best Video Reviews (Quick and In-Depth)
  • Videos Comparing Other Netbooks
  • Special Topic Videos

Compare Prices

Once you’ve selected a netbook and you want to know who has the best price, we’ve got you covered.  For most netbooks, you’ll find more prices from 10 or more online retailers.  Plus we will tell you whether they are in stock or not.

Summary

We think we’ve got everything that you need.  But if there is something else you’d like to see, please click on the “Contact Us” button on the menu bar.
