These tables provide a comparison of netbooks.

Aspects of netbooks that should be considered:

• Mouse layout that is used. Touchpad with 2-buttons below, or touchpad with buttons on each side. The latter may make it hard with some operations needing simultaneous presses.
• Battery capacity and operating time.
• Weight and size. The original concept was below 1 kg but some manufacturers tend toward 2 kg (4.4 lb).
• Noise from CPU fan.
• Driver availability for the built-in hardware.
• Operating system choice.
• Presence of built-in HSDPA, etc., may help to avoid USB dongles.
