V.S
Net books seem to be growing even more in popularity these days, but ever wonder what they have over a notebook or vice versa? Can't decide which one to get? Or don't know what the difference is?
Well here is a quick run through of what potentialy could help you make your mind up if you’re looking into buying one or the other or just wanted to expand your knowledge of the portable PC market.

So let’s go
Straight away the first thing you notice will be the size difference; now laptops are usually considered bigger and therefore more bulkier and clumsier than net books. Know Why Is That You May Wonder? Well it’s all to do with what’s packed into them, so lets go through the specs of laptops and net books in general.
Firstly screen sizes; laptops usually come in 10" to 14" inch, 15" inch and, 16" to 20" inch; net books usually come in 7", 9" and 10" inch screens. So really the step you should take in choosing any one off these two different types of PC is to make your mind up on how big you want or need the screen size to be. In my view the laptop wins that one because it gives you more of a range of screen sizes to choose from. After all you do want to have some amount of input into what you are buying, RIGHT?
Secondly, you may also want to consider the specs of the machine which may be similar to the following:

TIPECAL NET BOOK SPEC:
The latest Intel Atom processor with processing speeds ranging from (1.6GHz, 533MHz FSB, 512KB Cache) to (1.33GHz, 512MB, 2GB Cache)
Memory Sizes from
1 GB to 2GB
Hard Drive Capacity’sfrom 60 GB to 120 GB
Graphics Card Typesimilar to this Intel GMA 500
And sometimes lack in any optical drives at all but instead have 3 in 1 or 4 in 1 card readers.

So in conclusion, they both have their pros and cons. So if you’re looking to buy something to watch hi def and/or blu-ray movies on the go for example while on a train then a laptop/notebook is the way to go, but if looking for something called net-centric computing which may require a lighter, smaller and cheaper PC, then a net book is the best option for you.
