netbook - a small gadget, in its design and technical characteristics is not inferior to a laptop. About what it is needed for, and how to choose the right device, we will describe in detail below. The wagon is presented with a rating of high-quality netbook models in 2022.

The mini-laptop got its name because of its purpose - surfing the net. The display dimensions of this device, on average, vary between 10-13.3 inches. The most common option is a netbook screen with a maximum size, since the gadget allows you to use a good resolution.
The screen of the gadget can be matte or glossy. The matte screen does not reflect when sunlight hits the display and does not leave fingerprints. Therefore, most people prefer models with such a screen.
Netbooks are not designed to work indoors, so the battery power, each manufacturer, is trying to make the maximum capacity. Depending on the price category of the model, the battery life of the gadget, with a full load, varies between 2.5-8 hours.
OP: 1-8 GB.
The average volume of a hard disk or HDD is from 250 to 500 GB. New products include netbooks with a solid state drive (SSD). However, the performance of such devices is still "lame". This is expressed by low-speed response and small volume (up to 30 GB).
None of the gadget models are equipped with a built-in CD-ROM.
Peripherals are all standard, as for laptops. As for the webcam, microphone and speakers, in terms of technical parameters they are much weaker than those equipped with laptops.However, you can connect additional resources, if necessary.

The role of the netbook in human life:
Netbooks are not suitable for processing photos and videos, as well as for modern "weighty" games.
The review is provided with netbook models at an affordable price from Chinese manufacturers Irbis and DEXP. Both companies specialize in producing netbooks for work and study, although some models run primitive games. The main difference between the product range of both companies is the cost. This fact is explained by the fact that the case of netbooks from "Irbis" is mostly made of plastic, and from "DEXP" - metal.
This netbook continues the EVE 10 line, which has been out for a long time and almost does not change in design, but it gets better in terms of “stuffing”. The body of the device is made of black plastic. The lid has the company logo in white.
The keyboard of the model as a whole is typical for laptops and has soft, almost silent, keys. Button layout is standard. The only feature that sets this netbook's keyboard apart from the rest is the location of the start key, which is located in the row of main keys, and not separately. It is located at the top (in the right corner). Below the keyboard module is an unmarked touchpad, and above it there are 2 holes for microphones and 3 LEDs.
The display of the device has a 10.1-inch diagonal. The screen is made using IPS technology. The resolution is 1280x800 pixels. The color saturation of the display is quite good, so it is very convenient to play and watch videos on it, but the brightness is without much reserve. It is enough for comfortable work indoors, but when exposed to direct sunlight, the content becomes difficult to read.
The device is equipped with Intel's Celeron N3450 chip clocked at 1.1 GHz, which itself, if necessary, accelerates to 2.2 GHz. The chipset contains a 4-core processor with an integrated HD Graphics 500 graphics card from the same Intel. The netbook has 3GB of RAM running at 1059 MHz. These indicators are enough to play simple projects, for example, quests.
The battery, when compared with the predecessors of this line, has significantly decreased, however, on the other hand, the “stuffing” has become much more energy efficient.The battery capacity is 2500 mAh. A 100% battery charge is enough to watch movies for 2 hours and 50 minutes, taking into account the background work on the Internet. Full charge recovery time is 1 hour 40 minutes.

Having decided to buy a gadget, you should decide for yourself what is more important in a netbook. The most important criterion is the RAM indicator. Most buyers first of all pay attention to this. The higher the indicator, the better the device will work.
The second most important thing in netbooks is battery capacity. How much the device can work without recharging depends on its further purpose. That is, if the power is enough for 7-8 hours, then the device can accompany the user on various trips.Up to 5 hours is enough time for the learning process, to write down something important, as well as for a working environment with documents.
The combination of plenty of storage and a powerful battery is ideal for travellers, the working class, students and even gamers, although it is not considered as a gaming device. Netbooks are often used in the family circle to show children cartoons or interesting videos.
What to look for if you like a particular netbook model? If possible, you should first study the reviews of real buyers. Sometimes good advice is given and the true shortcomings of the device are always indicated.
Unfortunately, gaming netbooks will cost the user too much. The starting price starts from 120,000 rubles. Every gamer knows that the main criteria are:
But, if we are talking about DotA, then the netbook is completely unsuitable for this game. The reasons:
Therefore, as a gaming machine, a netbook is not suitable. Even if you find the right unit according to the parameters, then throwing away a lot of money is not worth it. For any professional, a stationary powerful computer is the best option to enjoy the game.
For business people and students it is important:
Each company produces a line of goods according to individual technology, which are reflected in the material of the product, technical tasks, design and cost, respectively.
Models whose body is made of plastic are considered the simplest and, as a rule, they are inexpensive in price. Almost all Chinese brands have such a structure, which explains their popularity and short service life.
Metal models are reliable, durable and resistant to physical damage on a reasonable scale.
Which brand to choose a netbook? If the budget is small, then it is worth considering Chinese manufacturers. And if you make an order with Ali Express, then you can save a very round amount.
The review was made up of popular netbook models for this year. Each gadget has its own advantages and disadvantages, given the technological structure of the device and its appearance.However, the main task for all models is the same: working with the office, watching videos and visiting social networks.
Based on the entire list presented, there are several main points:
Answer: "Irbis NB105" - low cost (about 9 thousand rubles); "HP 10-p001ur (Y5V03EA)" - expensive (23 thousand rubles).
Answer: The transformer models are considered the most popular: "DEXP Navis PX100" and "HP 10-p001ur (Y5V03EA)".
Answers: devices with a metal case are considered the most durable: "Irbis NB137", "DEXP Navis P100" and "Prestigio SmartBook 133S01".
Answer: "DEXP Navis PX100" - 10000 mAh.
Answer: for work - "Irbis NB105" - one of many; travel - "HP 10-p001ur (Y5V03EA)"; standard games - "Irbis NB34".
Which netbook to take for yourself - the decision depends only on you!
