Netbook for work?

Question

laptops

People, help with advice.
I need a netbook for work.
I don’t really understand them, but as far as I understand now, it seems like netbooks on the ion platform are leading.
I also saw a review of a netbook on amd c-50 and it seems to have done an atom in terms of performance.
I'm primarily interested in the processor, because (just don't laugh) the virtualbox virtual machine will run on it.
Should I look at the new s-50s, or take the ion2?
Can anyone run virtual machines on netbooks, how do they behave? Is everything really bad?
PS: I need a netbook, because of its compactness, I will have to carry it everywhere with me :(

Answer 1

what budget? thinkpad x220 is also quite small, but stuffing is there up to i7.

Answer 2

I have an Acer 1810 on Core2Duo, diagonal 11.6". As for me, this is a very good combination of size and performance.
Now it seems to be out of production, but there is an Acer Aspire 1830T on an i3 processor.
There is also a Lenovo IdeaPad U160 in the same size, and it has also Intel i3.

Answer 3

As always, it is enough to specify the necessary parameters in Yandex.Market .

Answer 4

Lenovo Thinkpad X120e

Answer 5

If your budget is $1000, why not buy a MacBook Air - www.apple.com/macbookair/
In addition to being light and thin, it has a long battery life and is generally good in terms of performance.

Answer 6

If you need compactness and performance, then you need to consider subnotebooks. Lenovo and HP have good solutions - you get the performance of a large laptop in a small case, and even a matrix, usually with an adult resolution

Answer 7

if from netbooks, I would definitely take AMD.
Advantages over Atom:
1) 2 physical cores;
2) 64-bit support.
Well, there is nothing to say about the graphics.
Both platforms have hardware support for virtualization, so I think it can work tolerably if you imagine the level of speed of the processors themselves. Their computing power is approximately equal.

Answer 8

If you are interested in processor performance, it is not very clear what does ION and ION 2 have to do with it, which, in general, only affect the speed of graphics processing - compared to the "embedded" graphics system. Well, ION2 gives an increase in operating time due to Optimus technology, which, by the way, is absent in some early models, for example, in the first netbook with ION 2 Asus 1201PN.
On the issue of terminology, it would be better to say the price ceiling, weight and the desired diagonal. And what it will be - a laptop, subnote or netbook, you can decide along the way.
On the official website of your virtualization system we read :
Reasonably powerful x86 hardware. Any recent Intel or AMD processor should do.
You can also read there that hardware virtualization is not needed to emulate 32-bit systems, but for 64-bit systems it is needed. More.

Answer 9

I used a netbook, Acer Aspire A150, but I realized that its capabilities were not enough, of course, with a 9-cell battery, it was a monster of autonomy (about 11 hours on Wi-Fi on the Internet). There was archlinux.
Decided to return to the bosom of laptops.
And I bought myself a year ago Asus UL20A (C2D 1.3GHz, added memory up to 4 GB, SSD 128 GB) on my own battery (6 cells) I pull out 7-8 hours.
12.1 "- 1366 * 768
Aluminum cover, lightweight. Small charger.
Of the minuses, the lack of HDMI.
Otherwise, it's just a wonderful machine.
PS Now there is a modification on i3.

Answer 10

If it's not a secret to a virtual machine, why do you need it? And also the approximate amount would be called so that you can navigate!

Answer 11

Lenovo IdeaPad S205

Answer 12

there is also
samsung market.yandex.ru/model-spec.xml?modelid=7697891&hid=91013

Answer 13

If it is possible to be online all the time, you can buy a simple netbook, and raise all the virtual machines on some server. Total will not need high performance and so on. Minus: our not very good internet.
