Summary

Netbooks are the hot new thing in PCs -- small laptops designed for web browsing, email, and using web-based programs, without the need to store data or own a desktop program. Odds are that you don't know how to pick a netbook, let alone use one. Not to worry: with this Missing Manual, you'll not only learn which netbook is right for you, but also how to set it up and use it to perform everything from job-related tasks such as working with spreadsheets to fun activities like gaming and photo sharing. Netbooks: The Missing Manual provides complete, easy-to-follow instructions for connecting speakers, printers, keyboards, and other hardware to a netbook, and offers advice for using free software and web-based programs. These little notebooks may not look like much compared to today's expensive laptops, but netbooks are the future of computing --- and Netbooks: The Missing Manual is your guidebook.
