This all-in-one guide, by bestselling Missing Manual author and New York Times columnist J.D. Biersdorfer, covers all the basics of the popular new netbook PCs. Netbooks are the hot new thing in PCs: small laptops designed for web browsing, email, and access to web-based programs (such as Google Apps), without the means -- or need -- to store data and desktop programs. This book walks readers through choosing and buying a netbook, setting one up, and all the common tasks they'll likely want to perform. It includes everything from collaborating with others online and sharing photos to playing music and games.
