The article “All-in-one Nettops resurrecting desktop market” is about a new category of computers that that is basically a cheaper and simpler computer. The new type of computer is called a nettop and has less capabilities than a normal desktop or laptop but is about half of the price. They were created about a year ago and experts thought they would plummet to bankruptcy but with the sudden change in the economy they are now booming. The targeted audience is people who only need a computer for basic things like using the internet and basic computing. Experts say this is a great thing for the computer world and the economy.
I think nettops are a great idea and are going to make a lot of money. When you think about all the people out there now that have a computer and don’t use or even know 80% of the things their computer does. I know I only use some of my computers capabilities and really have no intentions of ever using them. For only a couple hundred dollars you can buy a computer that is everything you need, how can you beat that? The computers even run on a Windows XP or Linux. The only down side is the screens are smaller, which doesn’t matter, and they aren’t very portable. These problems don’t even matter because anyone who would buy these computers obviously doesn’t use them very often and doesn’t need a portable computer. I think these are going to make a lot of money over the next few years
