Deciding Between a Netbook and a Notebook

Purchasing a laptop is quite a splurge but it is also an investment. To get the most out of your money, you need to choose wisely. The key difference between netbooks and notebooks are their processors. Notebooks use more powerful processors, therefore, you can run system-intensive tasks (such as watching HD movies or editing videos) on your computer without worrying that your system will hang. Netbooks on the other hand, use a less powerful kind of processor, which means that you have to be careful with the number of applications you use at one time.

The great thing about netbooks though is their size. They are very easy to carry around because of their slim design. You could easily fit one in your work bag, making it less obvious to thieves. However, as mentioned earlier, netbooks are not built for system-intensive applications. They also do not come equipped with CD/DVD drives. Its thin design and light weight means it had to compromise features you would normally find in a full-featured laptop.

Notebooks on the other hand, usually come ready with a CD/DVD drive. Their bigger screens also make them ideal for watching movies. They might be a bit chunkier (with some models weighing up to 5 lbs.), but with their much more powerful processors, you can expect your computer to run faster. In conclusion, netbooks are your perfect companion if you prioritize size over system performance. But if you need a laptop that works fast and can handle several system tasks at one time, a notebook is the best investment.
