It was my wife's birthday. She expressed a desire to have a little device that she could take upstairs and do email, play scrabble, surf the net, etc, etc. She wanted this in lieu of dragging her 17" laptop upstairs, every time she wanted to use it.
Sooooo, I bought her a little Acer Netbook. It was a cute little thing and was only $200. Knowing little about a lot of current stuff, and seeing all the tablets in the store. I wondered if I made the right choice. As a result, we have not opened the netbook package until it is determined if it was the right choice.
Subsequently I did see a netbook feature that made it kind of neat. You can actually use the Google Word Processor in the cloud, if you want to compose something. Other than maybe that, I doubt there would be any other computer type work that she would want to do.
I am just wanting to make sure that we won't be missing out on something, that we would soon long for, by keeping the netbook.
btw, she would be using the device on our wireless home network.
