What is the modern equivalent of a netbook?

That’s not even true anymore. Google keeps restricting what even the NDK can do in newer Android releases. Once Termux stops working I’m done with it.

what the fuck is a netbook? that is just a laptop
-
A netbook is a laptop that has very shit performance and only makes sense for people that need the internet.
-
So modern equivalent would be a chromebook
-
Well a chromebook is usable
-
Not really.
It’s a glorified smartphone that’s a stricter walled garden than IOS and has a shittier keyboard than the on-screen one in real smartphones.-
This and the hardware usually consists of some super dogshit mediakek/celery CPU that’s so bad that a smartphone like

A) moto g stylus (if poor)
B) Galaxy notewould give you significant performance improvements.

>A netbook is a laptop that has very shit performance
freaking BS. A netbook is just a small laptop. No one says it must be slow.-
They were all intrinsically slow because people expected them to be cheaper than laptops so most of them came with celery/atom dogshit.

Some of the modern 11.6" laptops with quad core Pentiums N5000/N6000, 8GB RAM and M.2 SSDs are quite neat…

A netbook by definition is small, budget, and shit. Small performance laptops were called ultra portables or other names.

Its equivalent would be chromebooks. Though an ipad+dock combo fits more if you drop the ‘cheap’ requirement -
chromebook or some of the cheap atom woke af chinese laptops – Jumper EzBook and the like
-
a phone, simple as. The need for barebones smol laptops died with the rise of smartphones to do all that sort of stuff instead.
Shit, personally I find laptops in general to just be a huge meme unless you’re in a specific situation that requires you to travel with your computer. Otherwise it’s like how people go gaga over the Nintendo Switch even though the overwhelming majority just play it at home anyway.
Personally I haven’t even used a laptop since college-
Thats the point though. Its not always viable to use phones (e.g. education, business, multimedia.) I heard that ThinkPads have pretty good form factor.
-
I agree, that’s why I said there are exceptions. My point though is that if you already have a desktop for when you need to actually be productive, as well as a smartphone for doing light consooming away from the desk, a laptop just seems totally redundant in most cases. But of course if you’re in school and you’re a cuck who absolutely needs to take notes on a computer during lectures (you don’t, doing them by hand is superior), or if you’re self-employed and need to be able to get actual work done at different locations or on the go, then that’s fine.
-
I can do assignments at uni or at my mom’s place when I visit. And I can have all my projects with me without freaking around with cloud shit.
As for normalscrotes, the main reason most have laptops is because it’s an all in one pc. Most people I know barely ever move the thing.

Quad core, ACKSHUALLY.
And yeah, it can handle both VP9 and H.265 1080p video.

Holy shit how I hate this "where did netbooks go" shitalso every time this gets posted, the thread dies for some reason, I wonder freaking why
-
>11.6" screen
Anything over 10" is too big for a netbook imo.-
7-12" is netbook by definition
-
12" is way too big.
-
Doesn’t make it less of a netbook, by definition.
Many of *THE* netbooks we talk about today like eeePC, were 11", even if they only had 9" screens, the bezel was just big.
-

-
for me it’s around
<11" – netbook
11-14" – subnotebook

netbook is more than just screen size. it’s a vibe. an aesthetic. nothing modern fills the role. where have all the cowboys gone? doot doo doo, doot doo doo.
-
I don’t think the vibe has gone anywhere. I actually think modern 12" have more of the vibe of the old style while being actually usable.
-
how is that vibey? that’s a typical macbook clone. i’ll assume you’re a zoomer
-
That Macbook design pre-dates netbooks, what are you on about?
I thought you meant efficient space usage of the small device, not "plastic piece of shit" when you mentioned "vibey" or not the colours of the materials.-
>That Macbook design pre-dates netbooks
macbooks looked like this in 2007-
2008 was the year this design was first introduced.
-
and netbooks predate that, i know because i bought an eeepc 701a when they came out in late 2007
-
See:
[…]
Unless you think that this is what "netbook vibe" is about, dating 2007.I thought you were serious and actually meant things like Lenovo S10, which came out later.
Otherwise you might as well say that UMPC as a concept with 7" devices pre-dates netbooks anyways, even with very similar "Macbook design", i.e. Vaio.-
i don’t recall netbooks being popular beyond the eeepc series, they quickly became big enough to just call them small laptops
-
EeePC defined what a "netbook" was at that time, like that 900HD in your pic
>8.9" screen
>Intel Atom paired with a chipset that uses 2x the wattage of said Atom
>Underpowered out of the box -
netbooks got bigger and laptops got smaller
it was no longer 7" netbook and 15" laptop, but 10" netbook and 11" laptop, making two categories kind of nonsense -
X200 came out in 2008 and was a 12" laptop, Vaio P series, 7" came out in 2008, wasn’t called a netbook.
-
Both Asus and Lenovo released most of their netbooks after 2007. The 700 series was very early and not actually as popular, majority of what gave people netbooks, i.e. free with a contract, gift, extra, etc were later netbooks, like the previously mentioned S10 or 900 series from Asus.
Year 2007 was very early for the category of portable machine you’d define as "netbook" today and not just UMPC. -
Lot of retail vendors used them at the time since it was a cheaper and easier alternative to PDA and cellular/tablet devices. Once tablets became cheap they died off, though.
-
Exactly, it was mostly about cost, low power and cheap to manufacture.
There’s a reason the sweet-spot today is between 11"-13" when it comes to small yet usable laptops. -
10 inch netbooks were pretty cool
still prefer 12 inch sub notebooks these days though -
holy fuck I hadn’t thought about Adium in forever!

Yep. I got an MSI Wind back then. Was a piece of shit from day one.
-
did you get a shit atom version or what? The MSI Wind with intel chip was amazing. The performance and battery was insane for a small laptop
-
Pre-2010 Atom chips weren’t bad though for their power usage. Don’t know where this meme comes from. Single core was totally usabe, chatting while watching YouTube? No problem. While having a 10 hours battery life.
Also Atom *IS* Intel. -
>Don’t know where this meme comes from
2010 – 2015 didn’t really progress the atom lineup
last atoms were decent against (for their power usage)
intel dropped the name shortly afterwards, not they are just celerons and pentiums -
Pretty sure they were all Atom woke af. Mine was an N270.

Everything before N5xx Atom was shit.

What did you expect? You’re posting in a zoomer thread.
>Wow, netbooks cool! Literally 576p screen and Atom CPU! Wooow!
>Hurr modern small laptop too expensive (literally same price or even cheaper than most much worse netbooks at their time). -
more like 300 bucks
i don’t remember how much i paid for mine, but it sure as shit wasn’t 500-
Often retailed for 450-500 when it came out.
That’s *NOT* accounting for inflation. So even if you got it for 300 USD then is comparable to 400+ USD now.

>Can barely play 720p anime
wtf
how is that possible?-
it’s not, its gpu supports uvd 4.2 which is capable of hardware decoding up to 2K H.264
-
he’s probably using windows media player or some shit
-
I didnt install drivers yet. Using Linux mint and its built in video player it manages 29fps at 720p
-
well you kinda need drivers to get hardware accelerated video, without any hardware support the cpu has do do everything from decoding to drawing onto the framebuffer, so that’s no surprise

Netbooks were a product of the 2008 global financial crisis when not many people could afford to spend out a lot of money on a big laptop. If you want to find out what the next equivalent will be, just wait a few months when the next global financial crisis hits.
