Hi guys,
I am planning to buy a netbook for my general usage (not sure which one).
But before I even start looking at netbooks, I just wanted to run my needs through you all and see if there are any better alternatives or if I am on the right track.
My usage is going to be 99% web browsing. Remaining time, may be some basic programming, working with MS office and once in a while, watching movies(not HD). And along with all this I want some kind of mobility as well (mobility is required to read ebooks only).
Now I was thinking of getting myself a netbook for mobility factor. For other things I was thinking of getting myself an additional LCD monitor and a keyboard. So basically will just use the processing capabilities of the netbook.
Is this kind of arrangement possible in netbook? Are there ports to connect external monitor?
I understand, there are normally only 2 usb ports in netbook, Can i connect a UsB splitter to increase the number of available ports. I would need atleast 4 ports (1 for keyboard, 1 for mouse, 1 for external harddrive, 1 spare).
Will there be any problem connecting multiple devices on the same port?
Are there any better alternatives to my problems?
Oh..most importantly...my budget is <20k for PC and my be another 4k for monitor(14-15" will suffice) and 1k for keyboard.
Appreciate your inputs.
Regards,
Mohit
