Why a NetTop or NetBook might not be a great idea for in field mobile computing












Ok! it's an old story when it comes to mobile computing in the enterprise. You can either go with consumer grade device and potentially end up replacing them often but feel good about the fact that they only cost small amounts of money. Or, go for a more rugged unit and spend more up front for something that will last longer.
Currently NetTops and NetBooks are all the rage, the cell phone companies are even giving them away!
But beware, the cost of constantly replacing units is higher than you think in terms of lost productivity that's even before you have to re-tweek your app or comms to run on the 'latest version'

Things to watch out for:
  • System performance, can your NetBook run today’s software – yet alone tomorrow’s!
  • Will it run Microsoft’s latest OS – Windows 7, which has made great strides over Vista and seems to be stable
  • Current, low cost devices are flimsy at best Can you do this with a NetBook?
  • They lack domain connectivity – frequently required for businesses.

Our New 7000 might just be the answer.....
