It's arguable that netbooks have been somewhat eclipsed lately in the press by tablets and indeed ultrabooks, as well. But are they really lacking, or are people's priorities not the same as the initial target market for these mini-laptops?
Netbooks are, it's worth remembering, not as limited as tablets. In fact, they're sitting on specs that didn't look out of place in a laptop several years ago, and are perfectly capable of performing all sorts of tasks. Tablets, however, are not designed with capability in mind in the same way that a laptop, PC or, of course, a netbook is. Tried playing on a netbook? Works fine. Tablet? Not the same.

Despite rather high price, a dial-up of interfaces and extension possibilities of this netbook Asus Eee PC 1018P has only standard configuration.
On the left panel VGA output for connection to exterior monitor or a projector, port USB 2.0 and a slot for the locking safety (Kensington type), hindering device theft are available.
Here the ventilating grid through which hot air is blown out of case limits is also provided. By our estimations, the ventilating channel has turned out very small.

Asus company presented a new design leader of laptops family ЕЕЕ PC with a title Asus Eee PC 1018P. An aluminum case and optional port USB 3.0 are capable to attract even sceptics. The street price recommended by the vendor is rather high - €399, and so we asked a question: why were ASUS preferences restricted again to the glossy screen?
