Now it has become very fashionable to buy a netbook, because its dimensions weight (if its capabilities) and appearance are not very bad. As you know, the main difference between a netbook and a laptop is the small size and weight, while it has a simpler hardware filling to increase the autonomous use time and low cost of the device. Due to the low performance, since it will not be possible to completely replace the home PC, then a logical question arises - Which programs are better to install? (about the performance and features of the netbook eee pc 901 can be read here). There was a lot about anti-viruses and games and about optimizing the wasp itself, I don’t think that all users are well versed in all existing programs, probably most of what’s written here is obvious for many, but I hope this topic will be useful to someone. My opinion will be most suitable for weak netbooks. It's about Windows programs.


So let's start with the most basic goal of the netbook - the Internet, there are quite a lot of programs for browsing the Internet pages, their choice is a matter of habit for each one can consider browsers
Internet Explorer - the standard built-in browser does not differ in speed or capabilities, the most common, under it is written the most all sorts of plug-ins, bells and whistles, add-ons and browsers based on it. some specific internet systems work only with him
Opera is one of the most common, stable, fast, many additional features including. Expansion options, there are assemblies that do not require installation and do not leave information on ssd or railway
Opera mini - a browser for a mobile phone, through the emulator perfectly stretches to the full screen and works fine, differs from the rest by the principle of operation, the sites are not processed by your netbook but by the Opera server, after which it transmits it to the device itself in a compressed form, saving it and traffic ( for users grps or just slow networks), time and computer resources. unfortunately it has a number of limitations and inconveniences
FireFox - different extensibility by various plugins, and resistance to all sorts of viruses
Safai came to Windows from Mac, the windows version is still being tested and completed, a good browser works quite fast, but sometimes there are problems and errors when opening some sites
Google Chrome is a newly emerging and very fast-developing project that combines many advantages of other browsers, has many differences at the software level, suggest that it will be the most technically advanced browser

while the last two are still different in that they practically do not "eat up" the horizontal space of the screen leaving most of the screen under the pages themselves

There are also a lot of programs for messaging and transferring small files, arguing which is better is useless everything is better, something worse can again be considered some:
ICQ - nowhere is more commonplace, the most famous program, a lot of animation, no support for the Russian language (there is only rambler icqhttp://icq.rambler.ru/), it shows a lot of advertising, it loads for a long time, it works slowly, no features, transfers files well, there is the possibility of audio and video calls
QIP is an excellent Internet pager, there is no advertising, there is everything you need, fast, convenient, there are extremely rare problems with file transfer. Infium version supports many protocols
RnQ is very compact and does not require the installation of ICQ, is perfect for carrying on a flash drive, has everything you need to communicate, some nice features, but the transfer of files is worse here: not very convenient and there are problems
Miranda - there are hundreds of different modifications and extensions from the simplest to the most cumbersome and clever, each is considered separately, you can find very not bad versions suitable for each specific user ... for an amateur ...



For voice communication \ video communication are great programs such as
Skype think the program does not need a description
Fring is a pretty sophisticated combine that combines many features of protocols such as icq, skype, jabber, etc. and it works well and quickly



download managers all work well, I, for example, have Reget, everything is fine

for torrents uTorrent is one of the best and simple programs

for other networks such as DC, any program is also suitable, for example StrongDC

I do not recommend using Windows Media Player to watch movies, and especially to update it, this is clearly not for weak netbooks, there are good players like:
FSPlayer is a video file player; for a number of tests, requiring the least system resources, correspondingly with this program, the battery will stretch when playing video MORE. Some types of files do not lose, but many settings such as an arbitrary zoom (for example, a 4: 3 movie can be stretched so that it fits on a full screen with a ratio of 16: 9)
Media Player Clasic: Home Cinema comes bundled with K-light codecs, does an excellent job with all types of videos, works fast, no complaints
KMPlayer - the player does not require installation of any codecs (it is sometimes useful), it does not work very quickly but is stable enough



You can listen to music with many programs, but one of the best will be winamp version 2.9, but not version 5 or higher. it has everything you need, if something is missing, such as flac support, it is possible to connect plug-ins, etc.

For viewing photos, the most stringent version of ACDSee like 2.x or 3.x but not the latest or InfanView, as well as many, not very clever, analogs

For cleaning the system from any garbage I recommend
CCleanerhttp://www.ccleaner.com/- a utility for cleaning unused, unnecessary or temporary files that remain from Windows and popular programs (for example, browsers), one click and everything is clean, also safely clean the registry
Disk cleanerhttp://www.diskcleaner.nl/download.php- searches and deletes all temporary files on all disks
RegCompact.NEThttp://experimentalscene.com/regcompact/- optimizes and compresses the registry, thereby significantly speeding up the work
TreeSize Professionalhttp://www.jam-software.com/treesize/- clearly in the form of graphs displays what occupies the most space on disks



From antiviruses, the majority opinion remainshttp://www.kaspersky.ru/, ESET Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Avast (free), perhaps Panda and some other lesser-known ones, which one is better? ... disputes are useless, everyone says that some kind is better than some worse .... so you can try to put and see the result
If the business is really bad and the system fails to boot, the Dr-Web Live CD can help.http://www.freedrweb.com/livecd/

To view and delete unnecessary startup programs and disable unnecessary services, there is a good Starter program and its similar ones.

From office applications everything works fine, the choice is only for the fact that more familiar, Microsoft Office, Sun Office, OpenOffice are all similar and have similar capabilities, the latter is different with the "portable" version

Foxit PDF Reader is best for viewing PDF files. The program is much less demanding of resources than the famous Acrobat Reader

For detailed information about the system, you can use EVEREST, PC Wizard, CPU-Z

To test the monitor matrix: TFTtest

For testing graphics performance: 3D Mark 2005 and below (older versions most likely will not start)

To monitor the status of a hard disk or ssd: HDDlife for Notebooks

A simple program is suitable for testing a battery: BatteryMark - loads the processor and draws a charge / discharge schedule and a battery

More useful programs:

Punto Switcher is a program for automatically switching keyboard layouts (sometimes we forget to switch the layout from Russian to English). Now you can just forget about the keyboard switch, the switch will be done automatically. NOT useful in programming and areas with custom text stuffing.

Notebook BatteryInfo - the program I was looking for from the moment of netbook purchase: sits in the tray and graphically displays the battery charge level and the approximate residual operating time when the load is flowing

Because netbooks do an excellent job with non-demanding games, that is, it makes sense to put emulators on platforms like Sega, Sony PS1, Nindendo and the like.

If there is a desire to make an FTP server out of a laptop and you don’t want to be bothered to set up, we set FileZilla of course a huge number of users will hardly survive percents but it works quite well

To create an Http, SMTP server there is an easy-to-use software package, with the ability to use Denver directly from a USB flash drive.

There are also many programs for overclocking processors and video subsystems, as well as "adaptation" of games. There are separate topics about this ...
Gma Booster which gives a small performance boost on Intel Gma video cards (10-20%), while having virtually no effect on battery discharge, the program is paid
3D Analyze - will help launch some games that require shaders and other advanced things from video cards, as well as "emulate" some types of video cards
Video Booster - accelerates the video card
Game-Accelerator - when launching games, it kills all unnecessary processes, minimizes all applications, disables some services, removes the windows theme and all effects, etc. after leaving the game, everything returns back



For musicians (in particular, guitarists and not only) I do not advise you to put Guitar Pro, especially to put RSE plugins on it!, There is a simpler analogue of TuxGuitar that works a little faster. less picky about the gland. Still it is not necessary to set the mode of auto-adjustment of energy saving (in this case there are jumps in the speed of the programs)

Again, I’ll repeat if it’s obvious that you don’t scold anyone, I think there will be those to whom it will help when using your phone or before buying it. If there are people who are interested in this, you can add more detailed descriptions, screenshots, links, and expand the list

bad heavy non-free program .... there is a lightweight analogue in the topic about the game discussedhereactually she :)

Kaspersky Anti-Virus is NOT recommended to install antiviruses.

Casper's 2009 worth of brakes is not seen working as well as Weber ... and catching a virai is better than a node

ACDSee is good for viewing photos.

checked the top three about the beta works well, but more likeirfanviewto tomuzhe absolutely free

Well who where the tenth case climbs, by the way about the porn sites you yourself slept;)
and when you download all sorts of programs (for example, in the topic header), and not rarely there are all sorts of Trojans

with Avast, too, there were no problems, he lives a separate life from everyone ...
From free antivirals Avira is better, at least according to independent experts
Holivar enough :) to each his own: P

On the SSD, Windows XP SP3, driver, kaspersky internet security is installed. Due to the anti-virus database of Kaspersky free space, about 400 meters are left. The external screw contains: Total Commander assembly with additional utilities, portable office 2003, portable The Bat, portable Miranda, Abbyy Lingvo X3, Adobe Acrobat 9 Extended. And, I forgot the program in the main memory for overclocking / decelerating the processor and for creating portable programs.

forsikI have such a problem in principle and no)
As I got rid of the problem, a stripped-down Windows (of course, a reasonably stripped-down one), such a bjaka as a system restore was cut out (then we replace it with an acronis. Use more and you can also put it on the second disk)
tmp / my documents / temporary folder, etc. we transfer to the second disk
if there is a winrar (and he probably has one), we will make sure that his tempo has changed too.
all the programs except for firewood and antivirus (I don’t know why, so wanted) put it on the second disk
well, and most importantly, turn off the paging file and sleep mode (in power). The paging file gives us a little sense because of the slowness of the user.
well, for games / films / images, mnu has a separate external hard

so ... document and endings I was completely unbearable (although it can be so). the most difficult is the uploaded date there. Namely, linking folders to another path)) and it really works! Test 2 months (then bought a RAM and this problem disappeared. The total commander removed and everything returned back)

This topic discusses mainly the "lightweight" software. But for netbook owners there is another problem that, as it were, they don’t notice, at least I did not succeed (and I quite responsibly approached this issue) to find a list not only of undemanding system resources, but alsoscalable applications .
After all, with a rather non-standard screen resolution, not everything is displayed, in most programs, the windows are hidden behind the screen margins, which often makes it impossible to work with the latter.
I propose to consider this parameter and look forward to your suggestions.
PS: In order not to be unfounded, I offer (to the list) TotallComander (I recommend the CrackLover or OSNavigator assembly, which "as is" can replace the whole armada of software) and Apolo (easily scalable player, with plug-in support, which understands most common audio files).
