Computer insurance could be a wise investment for those looking to join the scores of people who are choosing netbooks over traditional laptops.
Editor at Techworld John Dunn commented that the popularity of netbooks have "eaten into" sales of laptops.
Netbooks are smaller versions of laptops that allow people to use basic programs and access the internet.
Though much less powerful than conventional laptops, netbooks could be useful for those who frequently travel with their job as they are light and can easily fit in a bag.
Mr Dunn said that the recent wave of netbooks had reinvented the concept of laptop computers and could better meet the needs of some computer users.
Research from Displaybank suggests that in 2009, the netbook will take more than 17 per cent of the total notebook PC market.
