The Truth About CTL Netbooks
The netbook market is heating up, and there is no end to this trend in sight. A while ago, computer manufacturers realized that there is a need for budget laptops that are not only portable but also powerful. That’s why this market has been growing so fast. Most of these ultra portable laptops weigh about 3 pounds or so, and they don’t cost you more than $400 on average, which is affordable to a lot of people.
CTL is a budget brand of netbook that is designed to target college students and business owners. CTL notebooks are designed to be rugged and portable at the same time. And they perform well enough to allow you to produce and consume data on the Internet. Here are the top three CTL models that are available on the market:
E09XPH 9-Inch 2goPC: Comes with a 9 inch screen that is big enough to let you read documents without frustrating you. The Celeron CPU is not that fast, but it is not too slow either. The wireless G available on this notebook helps you connect to Wi-Fi networks around your area fast. The device comes equipped with Windows XP.
E09L: another rugged laptop that is very similar to the E09XPH, but it comes with Linux preloaded. It weighs only 2.9 lbs and is compact enough to take with you on your travels.
IL1 7-inch Laptop: the C7-M processor is a bit faster than the one used with the above items. You also get a sleek design and lower weight with IL1. It comes equipped with Windows XP.
Overall, CTL laptops are designed for folks who don’t want to spend a fortune on their next gadget. They are mostly rugged and designed for tougher conditions (unlike other brands). Yet, they are compact enough to allow you to take them with you all over the world. If you are looking for a tough netbook, CTL is a good brand to consider.
