Copyright (c) 2009 Titus HoskinsLately, a question that keeps appearing again and again with laptop buyers – what is the difference between Netbooks and laptops? If you buy the latest mobile computer, you should check with a netbook or laptop? What are the main differences and what should you buy? First, you need to realize the category of “netbook” is a fairly new one. Asustek, the netbook category, when it publishes its first Eee PC in fall 2007. Nebooks have become so popular with consumers is the fastest growing notebook segment. Netbooks are small, slightly smaller as a rule with screens of 10 inches, but some pictures may or greater. Netbooks are typically running Windows XP or Linux and sell for well under $ 500. Most have small Intel Atom processor and at least one GB of RAM. Netbooks typically have several USB ports, wireless Internet, Ethernet, webcam, VGA port for an external larger monitor, microphone and headphone jacks, card reader, and most now come with 160 GB hard drive, but older models are between 30 and 60 GB have those. Expect a longer battery life with a Netbook and nine hours is not that unusual. Sounds like a normal laptop, right? Well, not really, because the main difference besides the small size of the lower processing power, you will find in a netbook. Most have small Intel Atom processor, so expect less performance, especially when you consider the most netbooks have much less RAM than a regular notebook. In addition, most netbooks do not have an optical drive (CD / DVD player), although some newer models have this feature. The keyboard will be smaller as a rule, if you have such great hands, you look for a model with normal sized keys. Why netbooks have become so popular? The main reason may be to go our constant search for a handy portable device, together with our hectic and fast pace associated lifestyles. Many people want something bigger than a smartphone or PDA to connect with family and friends anytime in touch. For the students a netbook is ideal because of its small size and portability. For travelers, vacationers, hikers, sailors. . . a netbook can bring a very practical device to stay connected to the outside world. The other major reason is price! Netbooks are a lot cheaper than laptops, is true at least for the moment this statement. As regular laptop constantly falling prices, has been this price difference is much smaller in recent years. But in most cases, cheaper netbooks, then buy laptops. Should you buy a netbook or notebook? This question will depend to a great extent on what tasks you want your new device to fulfill. If you require computing tasks requiring high performance, or you want to store large amounts of data, then go with a laptop or PC. If you do) tasks that require a large viewing area (ad then with a laptop, the company’s third quarter of tables is very difficult to read on a netbook. However, if you want a small portable device with friends and family to stay connected while you are traveling or just out in the city, then go to a netbook. If you are a student and want a small, compact device for the classroom, then go to a netbook. Now, to confuse things a little too, all the prudent purchaser to be aware that all the functions of a netbook in many ultra-portable laptops are currently available on the market. For example can you buy a Sony VAIO 11th 1 inch notebook with a 1st 6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9600 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive and a Blu-ray drive. The main difference is the price, expect to pay more than two high for the Sony. Again, buy what device is largely dependent on your own computer needs and your budget. A cheap, sturdy netbook, however, can do everything you need to get the job done, why waste money by purchasing functions, you do not need to and will never use? However, if you require high performance in a small package, then a powerful ultra-portable laptop can fit the bill in more ways than one. It’s your call?
