So you’ve decided to buy a netbook computer! Which netbook computer should you purchase?
You’re going to want to define what you need from a portable computer. Make sure your needs will be met by a netbook computer, or if not, you will need to consider a laptop computer.
The main differences between a laptop and a netbook are
- Computing Power – laptops have more memory, faster and more powerful processors, and optical drives (DVD or CD).
- Weight — laptops weigh more than netbooks, though the larger netbooks can start weighing in close to a laptop.
- Battery life — netbooks often have longer battery life, depending on the number of battery cells you choose and the use of the machine.
- Keyboards – keyboards are often close to standard size on a laptop, and can be a fraction of the size on netbooks, or almost as large as standard size.
If you’re looking for a lightweight computer interface for internet connectivity, a netbook is for you.
