Acer is selling its AMD-base laptops for mere $279, which are giving tough competition to the netbooks, most of which come equipped with the Intel’s Atom processor.

According to Fudzilla, there is no use in buying a netbook with an 10-inch screen, an Intel Atom processor, no optical drive and Windows XP that weighs about two pounds. Why? Because when you have a better option of getting a laptop with an 15.6-inch screen, a higher-performance AMD or Intel processor, an optical drive and Windows Vista that weights about six pounds.

Here are the specifications of the 15.6-inch laptop:

AMD Athlon TF-20 64 processor, 15.6-inch WXGA display, 2GB DDR2 memory, DVD-RW drive, 160GB hard disk drive, ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 graphics, 802.11b/g wireless, 10/100 Ethernet LAN, and Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

Commentary: Such thinking is COMPLETELY RUBBISH. People do not buy netbooks just because they cannot afford laptops. They buy it because they are excellent traveling companions. I love my netbook as it is smaller and weigh must less than my heavy and bulky notebook.
