Peaches Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Netbooks: are they ready for the enterprise? By James E. Gaskin September 21, 2009 Network World - Netbooks are winning over consumer hearts and credit cards. While some consumer products, such as iPhones, have pushed their way into the enterprise, netbooks haven't. Is it just a matter of time before netbooks become an enterprise staple or will they remain a consumer-only product? Slideshow: Are netbooks ready for the enterprise?Slideshow: Rise of the netbook To help you decide, here are five reasons netbooks should be considered for enterprise use, along with five reasons to think twice. First, we must agree on a definition. The primary characteristic is a 10-inch diagonal screen, which makes the netbook far smaller and a different form factor than a laptop. The second defining detail is the small, power-saving Atom processor from Intel. Finally, the tradeoff for that small form factor is the lack of internal CD or DVD optical drives. story at computerworld - http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/913..._?taxonomyId=76 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
