The word “netbook” is misleading because it does not mean automatic internet access. The name originates from Intel and indicates only a small machine with low specifi cations that manage very well with Internet applications like mailing, surfi ng and chatting as opposed to desktop multimedia tasks.

Yet, normally, netbooks do not innately have any feature that will help you to be online all the time—like Apple’s iPhone or a BlackBerry. If you want to access the Internet with your netbook, you must invest in a mobile Web surfi ng dongle as provided by most telecom companies.
