The keyboard and screen size would definitely be some of the biggest limitations on netbooks. Even the most hardcore of netbook fans would occasionally wish for a larger screen size (especially while watching videos/movies). Well the Gods have listened and there are now a couple of large-screen netbooks available in the market. Many of these larger netbook models also come with larger keyboards and that is always welcomed!
One of my current favorite big screen netbooks would have to be the Asus Eee 1201N 12.1-inch model. While it retains most of its netbook features, it does have several different specs/features. First of all this model runs on an Intel Atom N330 1.6Ghz dual-core processor and a NVIDIA ION graphics card. It has a 250GB hard drive and 2GB of RAM. One of the compromises made for this set of new specs is its battery life. This netbook can last up to 5 hours at one go, which is still pretty decent by any laptop standards. It is, of course, a little larger, weighing in at 3.22 pounds.
The upside of the larger Asus Eee 1201N is that is has a 12.1-inch HD LED back-lit screen. It also has an HDMI port that supports full HD (1080p) video with 7.1 channel audio when it is connected to a HDTV. Other neat features include Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, a web cam and 802.11b/g/n wi-fi.
Another great big screen netbook is the 11.6-inch HP Mini 311-1000NR. It has a 11.6-inch HD screen, 1GB of DDR3 RAM, an Intel Atom N270 1.6Ghz processor and runs on Windows XP. It has a 6.25-hour battery life and is cheaper than the Asus Eee 1201N. This HP netbook is great for anyone who is looking for an entry-level netbook with a larger screen. Then we have another interesting laptop model, the Acer Aspire AS1410-8414 11.6-inch Laptop. Acer did not label this model as a netbook, but it is as portable, affordable and as fun as a netbook model.
