Going Paperless: Is it Time to Buy a Tablet?

Netbooks Pros and Cons

Netbooks

Price Range: some are free with cell contract but can run as high as $549
Screen Size: varies
Operating System: Windows
Pros:Almost any Windows application will run
Cons: Low battery life. Low resolution.You can find fully functional laptops in the same small form factor.

Think of Netbooks as ultra-portable laptops, sacrificing features like DVD drives, massive hard drives and monster screens. I like the Dell Inspiron DUO  because it fills the void between computers and smartphones. Unfortunately, it’s geared more towards being a Netbook than a tablet with a battery charge just shy of four hours. Ideally any tablet should be closer to 10. There’s a built-in camera to take pictures of whiteboards, but the 1.3 MP resolution leaves a lot to be desired.
