For many buyers, the portability of netbooks means that they'll get a lot of extended use, whether that means a long flight or a really big latte at the local coffee place. If you're anticipating that kind of heavy use, you might be tempted to spring for an extended battery pack.

Well, the picture speaks for itself: this is the very popular oh-so-metallic HP Mini-Note 2133, shown with both the standard and extended batteries. The extra cells on this netbook extend below the frame, propping-up the keyboard. This can make typing more comfortable, and can help air to circulate under the unit - good for cooling.

But it can also add considerable bulk, making it more difficult to slip into a case or backpack. So make sure you check-out battery sizes on that netbook you're lusting after.

Netbooks are exploding in popularity, mostly because they are much smaller and lighter than a typical laptop, and also because they tend to be a lot cheaper. Netbooks are also getting more powerful with each passing month, acquiring capabilities that take them far, far away from their toy-like ancestors.
