Netbooks cheaper: the idea of \u200b\u200bAsus and Intel to meet the tablets

The netbooks or ultra death are touched with the advent of the tablets should be engaged. Perhaps now is a bold assertion, but I firmly believe so, at least for users who bought or thinking of an ultraportable in addition to their primary computer at home, work or take digital entertainment more convenient and manageable.

I speak of seeing shows, movies, streaming from your computer, email, social networking, web browsing and even games. Asus, the "inventor" of netbooks, has been to see very clearly the wolf ears and might be thinking of a new concept of ultraportable still cheaper. If not set, since its original Asus Eee, both the performance and price have been growing in that scene.

It is time to revisit the situation. Asus, Intel's hand, could submit in June a new model of netbook with 10-inch display, Atom single-core chip and a price of between 200 and 250 dollars to stand up to the tablets which are to come. We can not discuss their mission is to change the opinion of the owners or future buyers of models such as the Galaxy Tab, the Motorola iPad 2 or Xoom, but rather to raise serious doubts among those who have in mind one of those tablets more affordable (which we call "poor") and that for the same or a little over priced, they take a full team.

To further differentiate the current netbooks, it seems that this wave will star other operating systems. Android and Chrome we talk about mainly, but we find that these systems veer towards a more intuitive touch control, not the traditional way. In addition, Asus has also made an important commitment by the world tablet albeit quite special and different.

An example is the Asus Eee Slider, a good mix on paper but raise doubts. Track | Digitimes.
