<div id="attachment_66" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 136px"><img class="size-full wp-image-66" title="NETBOOK" src="http://houseoflaptops.com/beta/blog/http://houseoflaptops.com/beta/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/02/untitled.jpg" alt="not Notebook" width="126" height="83" /><p class="wp-caption-text">not Notebook</p></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Netbooks <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>are available in our domestic market now.</p>
<p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Buyers really get amazed knowing the availability of Netbook at INR 18,000. Amazing, once in a lifetime deal it could have been; had it been a notebook PC. Netbook is perceived as a Notebook PC (or may be a buyer is given such a perception); it’s actually the N-E-T-B-O-O-K.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now let’s see what exactly this Netbook is… </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Netbook is a light-weighted, economical, energy-efficient device designed and suitable for wireless communication and Internet access.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Still the question remains if it is a laptop (or a computer) Answer is yes it is! It’s actually a very new generation of our own, old laptops. In its evolution Laptops became Notebook PCs that were as powerful as Laptop but eventually compromising on Processor’s Clock Speed (Mobile processors). This clock speed is balanced with increased L2 Cache Memory. Now Netbook comes with new generation of Processors, especially with Intel’s ATOM Processor.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Netbooks are suitable for </span></span><a title="World Wide Web" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Verdana; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">web browsing</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">, </span></span><a title="E-mailing" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mailing"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Verdana; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">email</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">, and general purpose </span></span><a title="Application software" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Verdana; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">applications</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">, netbooks are targeted increasingly at </span></span><a title="Cloud computing" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Verdana; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">cloud computing</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> users who rely on servers and require a less powerful </span></span><a title="Client (computing)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_(computing)"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Verdana; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">client computer</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">. Driven by </span></span><a title="Cloud computing" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Verdana; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">cloud computing</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> and </span></span><a title="3G" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Verdana; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">3G</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> adoption as well as the </span></span><a title="Late 2000s recession" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_2000s_recession"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Verdana; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">economic downturn</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">, netbooks are evolving into &#8220;super-portable laptops for professionals&#8221;, ranging in size from below 5 inches to over 12 inches.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Launched in 2007 by Asus globally, This product have so far got excellent response. Its pretty cost effective and priced around $ 400 ( INR 20000). Now in 2008-2009 we see lot of Indian models, available in India. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">In short certainly Netbook is not a Notebook PC. Especially Indian buyers need to be a little more aware as we may get carried away with price…! Its NOT replacement for Desktop or notebook PC…!</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Incredible, astounding, mind-boggling may prove frivolous words by their literary meaning if you consider the growth in Notebook PCs&#8217; (Laptops) domestic market. When we, House of Laptops started some 5 years back, no one would have predicted these unprecedented scenes. A rising city like Pune consuming 5000 notebooks every month is like Venkatpathy Raju scoring Century in his every outing; I can not have a better comparison! </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Verdana; mso-hansi-font-family: Verdana; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">What? Who? When? Where? …..??? So many questions! Makes me wonder!!! This is amazing… WOW!!! </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">And knowing the domestic market and the vendor mentality; it’s natural that such a growing market may have given greatest buying experiences to the consumers. I have seen some pain through out. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">HoL have changed some of things in it’s stride to make it a better experience for the buyer. For starters we are the ones who brought these beautiful machines out of the packed boxes on our counters before the consumers can buy it. In earlier days you could get to see them only in printed brochures. Our consumers were able to lay their hands on it and have a feel of it before they take their buying decisions. There were some more first of it’s kind initiatives HoL took for it’s consumers so that buyer becomes educated and after sales is less pain then. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">HoL has achieved it’s share of success simply because of the passion we have for these tiny monsters. And the joy of extending, unfolding these beautiful machines for you brings in a lot of energy to us.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Today, even after having Stores at 5 different locations with more than 50 Laptops on display, We see new challenges!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Which really brings in vigor within us for a yet another first of it’s kind of effort.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Pune today is no more a sleepy, relaxed town ideal for pensioners. We have seen a tremendous changes in recent past. Pune stands proudly on global IT, Auto, Biotech maps and so many other advancements we have seen. It does have reflected into a want of better infrastructures etc. Growth has brought a lot of new challenges along. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are many new challenges our consumers face today. It’s really tough to reach to those stores, hard to wait for longer duration, hard to compare different models. <strong><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Traffic, Longer distances, increased workloads and limited budgets </span></strong>are some of the areas where we see my consumers struggling and willing for improvements. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">A friend of mine working in a senior position with a corporate house (who is a perfect representative of today’s achieving generation with the want of time for himself and for his dear-ones) once told me that it’s really tough for him to spare enough of time to buy his daughter a new notebook. Going to stores, know, compare them and decide upon one, is really consuming.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">That conversation triggered a thought… ‘Why not give a tool to my consumers, to save their time, minimize their efforts and confusion and give them right and reliable source of information.’ The answer<strong> </strong><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">has to be an Internet. </span>Where we can interact as well; easily and frequently.</span></span></p>
