Now could be the perfect time to sell your netbook. While many people are finding that they no longer need their old netbook, or discovering that they require something slightly different as technology advances or their lives change, there is often quite a bit of use left in them. The advantages that drew you to the netbook in the first place make them ideal for others and so it's very easy to make extra cash to put towards your next upgrade. Tablets, ultrabooks and even just newer laptops have many features that are attracting current netbook owners. Designed to be mobile and functional, netbooks often do not do the job as well as the latest devices. Technology has come quite some way in terms of processing speed, graphics, touch screens, weight, mobility and ease of use. While netbooks are selling well on the second-hand market, many are finding that now is the time to offload their old machines and use the money to buy a newer laptop or upgrade their existing PC. Only you can tell which would be more practical for you: a more mobile piece of equipment with faster processing and more advanced features, or perhaps more RAM or memory for your PC. Either way, it can be very satisfying knowing that your old netbook has helped finance the upgrade.
