Netbook vs Laptop

Posted by at 4:22 PM Read our previous post
To make your life easier when choosing between 2 gadgets we have listed below points to
consider before purchasing:

1-Power. The smaller size of netbooks makes them much more power efficient. So you can use
a netbook for 5-6 hours without recharging batteries which is about 3 times longer than
your average laptop. This feature together with an increased portability puts netbooks
in a category of must-have stuff for long distant travellers.


2-Size. What you surely feel in the first instance about netbooks is their size.
Netbook’s display usually ranges from 7 to 10 inches whereas laptops normally start from
14 inches. This consequently makes netbooks much smaller and lighter comparing to laptops.
They are so portable that you may carry them in a purse or small backpack. 


3-Performance. Of course a size is not the only difference between these 2 categories of
gadgets. The main shortage of netbooks relates to their weaker performance specifications.
Lower hard drive speed, processor speed and graphics memory apparently do not add any value
 to the attractiveness of netbooks. Therefore running any sort of processor-intensive jobs
like graphics, footage or video modifying wouldn’t be as smooth as it used to be on laptops.
 Even excessive playing of videos on sites like Youtube can also slow down your netbook
considerably.

4-Resolution. Most of netbooks currently allow for maximum screen resolution at 1024x600.
Anything below doesn’t let you to view whole width of the web page at any one time. So the
 user has to scroll the page back and forth to read a full line of text. However most
recent netbooks are usually produced to allow 1024x600 which is ok for comfortable surfing
over majority of web-sites. 

5-Keyboard. Another major complaint about netbooks is the dimension of the keyboards.
If you have large fingers, you’ll find that you spend as much time correcting typos as you
do typing. Netbooks generally carry scrunched up small keyboards that are rather
uncomfortable to type on, making them unsuitable for note taking. 

6-Price. And the last but apparently not least point to consider is the price. Netbooks
cost between $200-$500 depending on how fancy you want it and what you are using it for.
The cheapest laptops start at around $400. With a low end netbook, you can get on the
Internet, type and edit documents, and play some games that don’t need a lot of graphics to
run smoothly. The higher end models offer more storage, more RAM, and more features.
