Are netbooks any good for work?

Anyone would think lately Ron that you are trying to get your business of selling your Ainol products through various websites you have set up to sell them.

Unless the amount of times you have mentioned them in your 10 posts is just a coincidence?

I'm a fan of Chinese tablets generally - they're absolutely terrific value if you buy the right one. Ainol just happens to be the brand I know best, which is my ONLY "commercial" link with the company. Having examined their products' technical specs, I've bought two of their models, and have been very pleased with both of them - possibly because I'm a skilled enough techie to pick two excellent tablets unseen and just from the specification.

Alas, there ARE people posting in these forums who have a curiously snobbish attitude (It's supposted to be a MONEY SAVING forum) and who claim that "you gets what you pays for". Anyone with much experience of computers generally will be well aware that price and quality have almost NO conection in the computing world. The mis-information being spread by these ill-informed people urgently needed to be counter-balanced. "A fool and his money are soon parted" would be a more apt claim.This forum isn't really techie enough for a debate about whether the Nexus orAinol are the better choice of tablet.... There are good points to be made on either side. But one (originally, just a month or so back) cost twice as much as the other, and this IS a money saving forum!

Netbook with intel atom & 1GB RAM is a bit slow, IMO.
But I think this with C-50 is slightly better
Refurb asus 11.6" C-50, 4GB RAM

If you after tablet, Asus TF300 may worth have a look, but they are not cheap.

If you are not in hurry, Microsoft Surface tablet may be the product you needed. It is going to release at the end of the month.

What is your budget? There other product like thinkpad x131e, or ultrabook. It all depends on how much you are paying
