It has been a turbulent decade in the world of computers. There has been a sea change in the way people use their computers. Desktops are now dead and buried. Laptops are the king. And netbooks and hard drives have popped up to fill in the void created.
This happened because there was a massive gap caused by laptops. What has occurred is that laptops have become more powerful to replace the desktops which have fallen out of favor. This is good, but for those people who used their laptops as a quick and portable way to get online, they have been left behind without an optimal solution. Because the added computing power has been added to the average laptop, they are now heavier and bulkier.
This increased the weight of such a device. People wanted to do things like watch movies on them which they streamed online. They needed to increase the screen size (and resultantly, the unit size) to accommodate this. Suddenly the tiny 11 inch laptop became a 17 inch behemoth.
This is essentially what a laptop once was. It is not designed to edit photos or videos, or play computer games. At heart, it is a text processing and web browsing machine, which does both well and capitalizes on the fact that they are not processes which take up large amounts of power.
Because there is less processing power needed for these tasks, the whole device can be lighter. Fewer bulky components are needed. But this does cause a problem. Space constraints in physical size impact on the size of the hard disk.
That is why netbooks and hard drives should be bought and used in conjunction with each other. It prevents people from clogging up their netbook with too much data, slowing it down. Portable disks can be bought very cheaply these days.
