Help With Clarification On What Setup I Need
OK as I understand it there's a few categories of laptops
Netbook: Small screen, small storage space, low memory, decent processor. Mostly used for surfing the net, listening to music, and light word processing.
UltraThin: Medium to large screen, not sure on other specs ???
All-In-One: Medium screen, medium to large storage space, medium memory, mid-range processor. Not as stripped down as a Netbook but not as not meant for serious work or gaming.
Multimedia: Large screen, large space, high memory, fast processor. Usually on the higher end of all the specs. Meant for doing graphic intensive work or high end video entertainment.
Gaming: Medium to Large screen, large space, tons of memory, cutting edge processor, also high end graphics card. Meant for hard core gamers or people who want the best.
My issue is I don't want the tiny screen that the Netbook offers. But I don't really need the All-In-One either. I really only plan on using it like I would a Netbook, just to check my email, surf the net, do some word processing. However I don't need all the storage space or the extra usb ports or little bells and whistles of an All-In-One. And I for sure don't need a Multimedia or Gaming setup. I guess I need to know what's the downside to Ultra-Thins. I mean I get it the screen is bigger, but aside from the big screen what are the advantages and disadvantages of the Ultra-Thin? I just thought I remembered hearing bad things about them. Any advice is welcome.
