can netbooks such as the acer aspire one play streaming video over the internet?

I am meditative of removing a single for my daughter for Christmas, profitable no some-more than £200. She would substantially make use of it for personification upon kiddies games websites, as well as examination youtube as well as bbc iplayer etc.

    Suggestions:
  1. YES it can play steaming video over the internet but make sure you have enough bandwidth.

    Another thing to consider is that netbooks have small screen. Aspire One’s screen uses LED backlight giving it a better black level for better viewing experience.

    The webcam is isnt that good in low light compare to my iMac, they should have put a nicer cam since most user will use the Acer Aspire One for chatting.

    How old is your child? The keyboard is small for me but should work well on kids.

    Here’s a review

  2. Yes, they can perform the same web applications a regular full size machine can.

  3. Sounds like a perfrect budget solution. And yes, they can do anything on the web fine.

  4. Yes, the netbooks can basically do everything a full laptop can. You are just limited on RAM and a couple other hardware pieces.

    I have both the Acer One (10.1" screen) and the Acer with the 11.5" screen. If you look online you will find them both for the same price. Go with the 11.5" screen. It is much nicer in terms of keyboard size and still super light to carry anywhere.

  5. Yes, but it might be a little slow. Since it’s for your daughter, I would say don’t work about it. Netbooks are great for children since they are cheap enough that it isn’t a huge deal if they break (no more so than any other nice toy), and they introduce children to technology early. You should still monitor her internet usage though, since the Internet is still a dangerous place for children. Teach her things like not giving out personal information and don’t talk to strangers online either.

  6. Yes, they can do everything a normal laptop can do. The only thing is that there is no optical drive which can be overcome by purchasing an external USB drive. Otherwise, they are exactly the same. I watch hulu on mine all the time. I was able to upgrade my memory up to 1.5GB and the as far as someone thinking it will be slower on the web….thats bs your broadband has nothing to do with your machine. You connection speed will be the same not matter what computer you use.

  7. Yes it should work fine

  8. Yes it would. However, I would never buy a netbook or a laptop for a child unless I was willing to replace it after two months when they spill something on it or drop it. I’d rather buy a cheap tower.
