One of the things these lightweight, net-ready devices are great for is online shopping. With life as busy as it is these days, buying online has never made more sense and here’s some reasons why.
Do it wherever you want to
In general, the said compact computers are built for the internet.

Maybe you’re on holiday, you’ve seen something great and you want one. Fire up your small but perfectly formed online shopping kit, get online, buy it and have it delivered on the day after you return.

Full laptops are designed to work as much like desktop computers as possible. They need to be able to do so many things. This can be a bit of a compromise sometimes, with a potential for a speed slowdown when things get tough. This is not the case with netbooks since they are designed primarily for making the most of the internet, so speed is a focus. Combine this with your choice of browser and you are well on your way to online shopping heaven in a short space of time.
