Yes, what about it? the netbook PC is a smaller size of laptop. Most of the screen sizes are between 10 and 11 inches wide, very light in weight and the price ranges are between $299 and $499. Some of them are build in 3G network system that you can link up with AT&T to get services for Internet everywhere, but remember it come with additional fee every month. The Netbook PC is loaded with Windows XP home edition but you can upgrade to pro. The CPU is single core and most of the RAM is 1 GB but it is upgradeable. the Netbook PC has a good enough storage build in and mostly 160 GB but it is also upgradeable. The only thing that does not build in on the system is a CD/DVD-ROM drive but it is not a problem you still get the option on external dvd-rom or ram. Build in speakers are not great because of small speakers. The battery life is depend on the cell that you buy, the system come with 3 cell but you can upgrade to 6 cell battery that will increase the life to almost double, from 2.5 hours with 3 cell to 5 hour with 6 cell.
Netbook PC is the best for you if you are a mobile person. Easy to carry and strong enough to do your job for doing email, Internet browser, typing and spread sheeting but if you do more on graphic such as picture editing and video editing probably you require more powerful PC than netbook. So if you are enjoy being outside all the time than your office also the work that you do does not require powerful software to run, Netbook PC is the best of your choice right now.

How to choose a laptop computer that suit you
Many people are wondering around the computer store while looking at many different Laptop computer that the store offer. Also the sales person can give you more headache if you were not pay attention to everything that he/she said about the laptop.
Moreover I will help you to find the right Laptop for your need.
For your son or daughter between 6 to 12 grades, Find something that less than $800 laptop because most of the time this will be the first computer that he/she may have. Let them explore the new computer and learn more. If it break in a year you did not spend a lot of money and you still able to buy another one easily. One other thing you need to remember that a new Laptop did not come with every software that the school require and you need to spend more money to buy the software.
For College student, Find something that more powerful but yet affordable enough, thing about a better graphic card more memories and more storage space. I say probably about $1,200 to $1,500. Also you need to think about buying more software for research and project management. It all depend on their major in school.
For business person, It depends on your business but most laptops are ready for use in business manner. If you need more on graphic, then you buy the laptop that has dedicated memory for GPU and max the RAMs. If you need to more on the calculation site choose the one that has fast CPU. don't worry much about storage because you can add or change the size as you like it. I say between $1,500 and $2,000.
For fun and gamers. I did not recommended you to buy a laptop because you will be disappointed because every a new game require more thing to add and most of the laptop has limited stuff to add then Desktop computer is the best choice. However if you insist, here the price of laptop that you can buy for gamer and fun $2,500 to unlimited.
In my conclusion about how to buy a Laptop is speed, memory and storage are very important. Make sure you choose the best from your budget and your need. Manufacture name is not very top priority because most of the laptop are made in China any way. Then you don't expect that one laptop has superior on other one. Also do not choose the laptop base on the model and how cute the color and design are, but choose it from your need.
PS. The only laptop that still in made in Japan is Fujitsu.

How to buy a new HDTV
Alright, maybe this is not a new issue for somebody but it is still a big issue for most people especially when they buy a new HDTV (High Definition Television). A decade ago people did not think about HD when they bought TV. They just came to the store and bought the TV set that they like it. They did not need to worry about resolution and refresh rate and so on and on. They mostly worry about the manufacture name.
However right now everything is different. When you buy a new TV, you just not only think about manufacture name, or how big the set is, but you need to think about the picture resolution, the refresh rate, the Vertical scan rate and anything else as the TV set offered.
You went to Electronics store to buy a new TV. Inside the store there are many different type of TVs, there are LCD, Plasma, and DLP TVs also some store still offer CRT TV.
So you need to pick one of the type of TV that you want to buy. Say you choose LCD Type of TV. There are 2 Types of LCD TV right now. Do you want LCD with Fluorescent light as a back light or with LED light as back light. Now it is getting more complicated when you choose a new TV, yes? OK let's continue.
Finally you decide to choose a regular LCD TV (Fluorescent light), then you have a choice of screen sizes from 13 inches to 55 inches. After size you need to choose the resolution 1080p or 720p. Then you go to refresh rate 8ms, 5ms, or 2ms. Then you go to the picture quality from 60Hz, 120Hz and 240Hz. Then you choose the contrast ratio from under 5000:1 to 150000:1. After all of this headache then come up with the price tag of the TV.
HDTV can be more complicated than just as these above, since you need to worry about the inputs and accessories that the set have. That's way every time you decide to buy a new HDTV make sure you talk first with friend that has a knowledge about HDTV or some expert on electronics. Never listen to sales person, because most of them just want to trap you on something that you don't really need it. Also you can choose the best TV for you.
These are the sample point to buy a new TV:
LCD TV (High End) - 52' screen size, 240Hz vertical scan, 1080p resolution, 150000:1 contrast ratio, 2ms respond time and under $3000 price tag.
LCD TV (Mid End) - 52' Screen size, 120Hz vertical scan, 1080p resolution, 80000:1 contrast ratio, 4ms respond time and under $2500 price tag.
LCD TV (Low End) - 52' screen size, 60Hz vertical scan, 1080p resolution, 70000:1 contrast ratio, 6ms respond time and under $2000 price tag.
LCD TV (low budget) - 52' screen size, 1080p resolution and under $1500 price tag.
LED TV (High End) - 55' screen size, 240Hz vertical scan, 1080p resolution, 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and under $4000 price tag.
