Effects of user perceptions associated with perceived playfulness on their attitude toward using a netbook

A netbook, Internet-enabled and with extra portability, has been fast-growing in the domain of information technology （IT） in recent years. Compared with standardized laptops or desktop computers, a netbook＇s key features include a shrunken-down and lightweight laptop that is ＂easy to learn, easy to work, and easy to play＂. This research is to empirically test the influence of user perceptions of this new form of IT （usability, compatibility and relative advantage） associated with playfulness and attitude toward purchase intention. In addition, personal innovativeness of an individual plays an important role in the antecedents of such perceptions. A test of this model, two-stage approach, confirmatory factor analysis （CFA） and structural equation model （SEM） are employed to validate the casual model from among 227 usable respondents who have been using a laptop for more than two years. Results showed support for eleven of twelve research hypotheses, and one new path linking personal innovativeness with attitude toward using is found to be non-siznificant.

NetBook 微星Wind NoteBook U100

NetBook对于相当多用户而言,还是一个新名词,事实上早在1999年Psion公司就提出NetBook这个概念,用于统称性能足够移动办公和网络应用的低价、超便携式笔记本电脑。该公司也曾生产过Psion NetBook,但是由于当时有线、无线上网环境尚未完全成熟,NetBook并未得到广泛关注。事隔8年之后,ASUS推出了同样基于NetBook概念的Eee PC,得益于成熟的网络环境,Eee PC不但获得如潮好评,销量更数个月内突破了100万台,一个NetBook的时代来临了。
