I have been considering to buy a netbook for basic applications like
-web browsing
-typing and editing documents
-watching movies and listening to music
-downloading stuff(download a lot of movies)

I am considering Degee I8B11D4 10.2" Netbook

something about Degee I8B11D4 10.2" Netbook

Model I8B11D4
Operating System Windows2000/XP/Windows7
Processor Intel Atom D425 1.8GHZ
Display 10.2'' Wide-screen
1280*600 WXGA
Graphic Processor Intel GMA X3150
System Memory DDRII 1G
Max Memory Maximun to 2G
Memory Slot 1×So-DIMM
Hard Drive SATA 160G (250G/320G)
Max Storage Maximun to 320G

My prime concerns are:

-How much of multitasking can it handle?
For instance how comfortably can it pull web browsing (with multiple tabs on),
editing documents,a download in progress while a movie is running simultaneously?

-Would a netbook be able to pull maximum internet speeds?

Please help me decide if netbook is a good choice at all

If you aren't planning to play games, this looks like a good laptop. The price I saw was around $200 which is a very good price for a computer netbook.
Max Memory is only 2 GB -- when you do buy this computer, make sure you go to crucial.com or something and purchase an extra stick.
With only 1 GB RAM, you might see some slow activity if you plan to load several applications at once.
Make sure you keep your Windows 7 disk defragged and routinely run antispyware protection.
That storage capacity is quite a lot for such a small computer but it will probably be able to play some movies and music, so not bad.

Battery only lasts around 3 hours. For a regular notebook, that'd be fine. For a netbook, that's a slightly negative review, as it should last longer.
But it's probably a pretty powerful little PC.

I doubt you'll have a problem doing anything you want on it. As I said, the only thing you probably won't be doing is playing something like StarCraft 2.


Always fun buying a new computer. If you're going to go for it, do it. But shop around first.. for a cheaper price. Don't pay over $250 for it. Try to find it for around $200 -- which is what I saw.
