Netbook

-
Is it really such a small notebook enough for our purposes. Of course not include gaming purposes. Due to it portable and small size, does it really such worth buying?

The term netbook was introduced by Intel in February 2008 to describe a category of small-sized, low-cost, light weight, lean function subnotebooks optimized for Internet access and core computing functions (e.g., word processing.) Below is the size of a Intel Atom processor.



In a nutshell, the netbooks and nettops are basically designed for Internet content consumption, that's it. A typical Intel Atom netbook includes the N270 Atom processor at 1.6GHz together with the Mobile Intel 945GSE Express chipset, a 7"-10" screen, 802.11b/g WLAN, a mini keyboard, 400MHz or 566MHz memory, 256-512Mb of RAM, 2-4GB of flash based storage and a lightweight Operating System such as Linux or MS XP Home. Estimated starting price for netbooks are around USD250 or RM900 and above.

With more than 10 PC manufacturers and OEM launching Atom based netbooks at the time of launched, you can now actually get an Intel Atom powered device yourself. Most recent launched are the Acer Aspire One (which is currently being used to type this news out), MSI WindPC and the Asus EeePC 901. All are priced within the affordable range of RM1300-RM1600 depending on the configuration.

If purchase a netbook, I guess the limit of variety usage is there. I'm a frequent user of photoshop, music editing, and listen to music using itunes. Therefore, I will not go for netbook. I will prefer for a laptop size 12" screen with better processing (eg. C2D or Turion processor) rather than netbook and of course the price definetely more expensive compare to netbook.

Maybe if you had a desktop at home and feel having a laptop for net surfing at outside, (eg. Starbucks, library, college and etc.) you may think of purchase one. All is depends on your need.

I browse through the internet and found a website name instructable.com. I found a lamp that pretty nice. It use Japanese shoji style to create a DIY lamp. So I try to make on my self too. I use tracing paper, bamboo satay stick, some electronic equipment. The wood I do not know for what purpose, I just take it picture for fun. Then I start with measuring the stick. I align it this way so that it will had rectangular shape and not square. Then I measure the stick for the horizontal and vertical for the inside the square. I took 70% of the original length and cut it into sizes. So it will looks like this. 4 different length of stick. Then I glue the join with glue gun. I will suggest use UHU because glue gun is far too hard to control. Then I stick the frame to the tracing paper which I had cut it into sizes. It almost done with 4 angle. It will look something like this. I perform the wiring for the electric parts. Then stick the bulb hold

OST for the movie “You are the apple of my eye” (那些年，我們一起追的女孩). Somehow the English movie title and Chinese are different. Chinese means “Those years, the girl that we chase after together” or something like that. A very nice and meaningful movie that my lovely wife intro to me. Really thanks to her that I enjoy such a nice movie. ♥Love it♥ 又回到最初的起点 you hui dao zui chu de qi dian Back to the starting point 记忆中你青涩的脸 ji yi zhong ni qing se de lian In my memory, I see your young face 我们终于来到了这一天 wo men zhong yu lai dao le zhe yi tian We have finally reached this day 桌垫下的老照片 zhuo dian xia de lao zhao pian The old photographs under the table 无数回忆连结 wu shu hui yi lian jie Linking to countless memories 今天男孩要赴女孩最后的约 jin tian nan hai yao fu nuu hai zui hou de yue Today, a boy will keep his last date with the girl ***** 又回到最初的起点 you hui dao zui chu de qi dian Back to the starting point 呆呆地站在镜子前 dai dai de zhan zai jing zi qian Standing in front of the mirror dumbly 笨拙系上红色领带的结 ben zhuo j
