Word Processing

Mini notebooks have been in the center of attention since they were first released, and with the recent development on the field of these small components the question is even more important than it was only a year ago, what can I do with a mini notebook computer?

Great news is that you can do almost anything apart from a few special applications that are either demanding on the performance or would be a pain to use on the relatively small piece of screen.

Word processing is not one of these applications, the software you would use runs perfectly. Most of the netbooks are sold with windows platform, so running Microsoft Word is not an issue. The screen size is more than enough for just getting some typing done, and it is wide enough to show your documents in the size you made them in on your main computer.

The size of the screen is often a key factor when a manufacturer tries to fit in a big keyboard in their product. It would look awkward to have a small monitor and a full size keyboard stretching twice the width of the top part. This is where laptop makers had to come up with ingenious solutions to squeeze in a small screen, and all the keys without making you to have to use your nails to type.

Latest netbooks are sold with 12" screen, even, so the availability of natural keyboards is better than ever. Anything that is at least 10" in screen size will most probably have buttons you can use. Men are concerned most of the times but they have nothing to worry about, models that sport a 92% or 93% normal size set of keys will be comfortable to work on.

If you thought a normal notebook is something you can use, you won't have any problems with a mini notebook either. Some keys are missing, there is no numeric pad, obviously, but for normal, everyday work, typing long documents, they are just fine. Asus was one of the first manufacturers who realized the importance of this, and they opted for great quality too.

It doesn't matter if you use your netbook for 2 hours a day or eight hours a day, if you try the keyboard in the local shop before paying money for it, you will know if it is for you, or should you be looking for something of a bigger size.
