Netbook PCs could dominate world markets because many people are attracted by high mobility. However, how is the continuation of Netbook after the arrival of iPad which equally offers high mobility of this?
Netbook that has been sold to 50 million devices to date, which had been fascinated many people with offers device weighing less than 1.5 kg, compatible with Windows, and cheap. But, does this appeal still able to maintain the netbook market after iPad come and offer similar mobility? Compare Netbook with Apple device that is easy to carry, has a good capability of a smartphone, though not as powerful as a laptop.
One more thing which is worthy to compare is a physical and non-physical keyboard iPad. iPad indeed also provides a physical keyboard. But the sensitive matter is the comparison the affordable and cheap iPad. Still, Apple might still be confident with iPad market, where there are millions of people who are willing to pay more for the Apple device.
Functional, the netbook and the iPad offers an almost similar service. Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and Intel argued that the Netbook is used for Web browsing, media usage, e-mail, and simple computing activities. It sounds almost like a service that can be provided iPad, although this device does not provide fatherly support Flash, as quoted from CNet.
There is a considerations whether the compatibility of Windows will continue to play a significant role on the the future of Netbook. The warm enough acceptance market of Apple’s OS X and its derivatives that run on iPhone and iPad is just like a bad signal for Windows.
However, with the assumption that Windows and its all compatibilities are important, Microsoft’s operating system is actually become one of the Netbook weaknesses. Netbook with low-performing processors must be forced to run Windows a very consuming computer resource. Meanwhile, the iPad has been designed as an integral slick device intact. Which one would you choose?
