Netbooks with advanced power management and low cost are no longer the preserve of larger boats. They can be used to run chart plotting software, tidal prediction software, as well as being able to be used to watch a DVD film (a bonus for children on wet days!), pick up mail and view advanced weather forecasts (subject to Internet Access!). Note that some owners have now replaced this with a smart phone or a tablet but is still useful for keeping the kids happy by playing DVDs or watching the X-Factor in port (not my cup of tea, I must add!)
