Netbooks For Schools - The Next Big Thing?

Netbooks are low-cost laptops intended for use with wireless technology.  They are mainly designed for internet access and e-mail and for accessing web-based applications rather than bigger, more powerful laptops which require more capability for storage and running software packages.

The lightweight nature of netbooks and their ease of use have made them popular with students.  Companies such as Dell, Asus and Acer sell thousands of netbooks to students in the United States and many schools have placed large orders for netbook products for their increasingly web-familiar students.

Craig Derbyshire of Ultimate-Netbook, suppliers of mini notebook accessories and netbook accessories said, “The netbook and accessory market in the United States is big and growing rapidly.  Where America goes, other Western countries ordinarily follow and so we expect to see a huge surge in demand for netbooks and netbook accessories in the UK over the next year.”

Ultimate-Netbook specialise in supplying accessories specifically designed for all the main brands of netbook and has just secured its first manufacturer order to produce netbook bags for education featuring a school logo.

Mr Derbyshire added, “Schools are likely to be investing hundreds of thousands of pounds in netbook technology as the use of these lightweight systems becomes more and more common.  As we specialise in providing accessories for all the major brands – everything from batteries to carrying cases – we are well placed to provide educational establishments with the accessories and supplementary products they need to ensure their students get the most out of their netbooks.”
Research in America estimates that the netbook market will exceed twenty five million units next year and their adoption in schools could well be a tipping point in the sales of the easy to use systems.  Ultimate-Netbook can provide all the accessories needed to get the best out of your system whether it is for you or for your student child.
