The main trend of the 21st century is "doing things online": working, socializing, surfing on the internet, meeting people and etc. And for this reason such gadget as a laptop has become an object of the first necessity. Not only individuals, but all kinds of organizations put their web pages and news on the internet, so it's also a substitute to traditional media like television or newspapers. The most obvious advantage of a laptop, compared to a desktop is that this is a portable gadget, making you feel free to relocate at any convenient moment. New technologies let batteries be more energy sufficient, so we can enjoy being free from wires just as long as we have to. Living in a fast world makes people conscious about other practical aspects of their gadgets. Amongst them most important are weight and size.

A laptop of a business lady should be just as big as her purse and just as heavy as her patience allows. Same thing happens to men: burdened with their job and a stressful lifestyle they want to make it easier. That's why lately more and more people switch their traditional laptops to net books. Net book is analogical to laptop in all ways but size and weigh: this is a smaller gadget, which perfectly fits into a lady's purse or a travel bag. The last but not the least important thing about a laptop is its' price. We are used to think that all quality goods are supposed to be costly, therefore unavailable to most of us. But as we started this project we meant to solve this problem by the "golden middle rule": a better price plus a good quality.

In order to clear things out we shall give you some theory on the subject. In accordance with a new oxford American dictionary a "laptop" is considered to be a computer that is portable and suitable for use while travelling. As we already know there recently appeared a new model of a laptop called net book. What is the difference between them? Here are some basic descriptions of a full-size laptop, a netbook, and a tablet PC:

Full-size laptop:

A full-size laptop is large enough device to accommodate a "full-size" keyboard. Under "full- size" keyboard we mean one with the minimum QWERTY key layout, at least 13.5 keys across that are on 0.750 inch centers, also providing some space on both ends of it. The meаsurement of аt leаst 11 inches аcross has been suggеsted аs the thrеshold for this clаss.

Netbook:

A netbook is a laptop that is smaller, lighter and more portable than a full-size laptop. It is also usually less expensive, but has fewer important features and lеss cоmputing pоwer. Plus, smaller keyboards are more difficult to work on. Thеre is no shаrp line оf devision between net books and cheap small laptops; sometimes 11.6 inch laptop models are marketed as netbooks. Since net books, are quite small in size, no CDs can be used with these computers.

Tablet PC:

Tablet PCs are those with touch screens. The screen rotates and mat be used atop keyboard (there are convertible tablets to help you do that). They are different from factor machines, which feature a screen touch only (though some older models have small keyboards, based along the sides of the screen).

Now that you know the basic idea, and types of laptops, we can go on to pricing matters. The price of full-size laptops includes such main parts as prices for: a large keyboard, good processor, RAM, hard drive plus a monitor. If you try to calculate these costs you'll notice that the sum often goes beyond your budgeting limits. In this case our mission is to find all that set together in a gadget for less than 200$. After a thorough research we found some inexpensive laptops, priced less than 200 $. Here is one of them:
