Five ways to put your netbook to good use around the house
You've had a long day on the road and now you're back at home. So what do you do with your trusty netbook? If you're like a lot of users, you plug it in to recharge and then turn to your primary system, desktop or laptop, to finish out the day.
Netbooks are all about compromise, which means they have small screens, small keyboards, and less powerful processors. And yet, they remain perfectly adequate computers for anyone willing to work past those limitations. Netbooks can work just as well, if not better, at home at night as they do on the road during the day. Here are five ways to give your netbook a second life in the evening.
You probably won't sync your entire music collection to your netbook, particularly if you own one with limited disk space. With their WiFi functionality, netbooks can be a great client for shared music libraries. You can stream through software like iTunes or listen to online music services like Pandora. When you're in your family room or working out on the treadmill, a netbook simplifies bringing your music with you. Plug in the netbook, connect it to your stereo or headphones, and you instantly have access to your entire networked music library.
