Actually, the words, languages, way and style of asking was different, but a lot of people here, or elsewhere have asked me the same. So, what’s the deal about it? Well, while answering the same question to a mate just now, I thought to write this, since I’m a little free today, and waiting for days to arrive for some major project undertakings. So, the terms, “laptop”, “notebook” and “netbook” does often confuse generally particularly if you’re not much in the technology shoes.

Considering, here’s my take on them, which may (may not be though) help you out in understanding them better and perhaps in the future course help you determining which is the best for you to buy. First off, as a matter of fact, they all are smaller in size from your colossal looking desktop. and, the “netbook” breed out of them is the smallest from everything else mentioned. Ok, so without much ado, let’s have a quick look on laptop, notebook, and netbook in terms of differences, advantages and disadvantages. Laptop computers: Originally, the laptop computer were not the laptop computers at all. Though the idea behind them was to make a device that can fit on lap and is portable to carry around, but they were way too bulky to be used on anyone's lap. Those who are long been connected through technoworld will give you lot of such examples like Commodore SX-64 and IBM "Green Machine” etc. So, they were not exactly the laptops, and in fact, their prize to was pretty much (I still need some months of my salary with overtime to buy that). Notebook: The makers of technology don’t make it for inconvenience, and they often want people to use and appreciate it. Since it wasn’t much happening in the case of laptops considering it’s yet big size and costly appearance, companies have started scratching their heads to make it even more smaller. Laptop computers eventually progressed to the point where they could actually be held on your lap. By that time, they started calling them "notebook computers", presumably because they opened like notebooks if you turned them sideways. Some people still call them laptop computers and they're not wrong in doing so. Netbook: And, then came the netbooks, from a perspective of confusing people even more. (not actually though). The netbooks are even smaller then notebook and can even fit in your small Tiffin bag. They're basically the same thing as notebook computers, scaled down and focusing on Internet-based applications over locally-based client applications. Ok, so as the time passed, the size has dwindled, but is the size only factor? Not really. First, have a look of a tipicle notebook and it’s configuration: • Screen size : 12 Inch and up • Processor : Intel Pentium Dual-Core,Core 2 Duo or AMD Turion X2 • Graphics : Integrated or External Graphic Card, from Intel GMA x3100 to AMD Mobility HD 3870X2 • Weight : 1.9kg and up. And, now a quick compare with netbook: • Screen size : 12 Inch max • Processor : VIA C7 1.2GHz, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz or AMD Geode 800MHz • Graphics : Integrated Graphic Card, mostly Intel GMA 900 or 950 • Weight : 1.1kg and below. So, there are four important points as you can see: Screen size: I think this we’ve already kind of discussed. Processor: This part is most important. The notebook uses Intel Pentium Dual-Core,Core 2 Duo or AMD Turion X2 as processor, while the netbook uses VIA C7 1.2GHz, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz or AMD Geode 800MHz. The processor of a netbook is much lesser then the processor of notebook, and would not be able to perform high speed computing, graphic/video editing on multiple channels, or working simultaneously on various applications.

Re: [AI] notebook, or netbook?
Dear Sameer and all Just to add, it seem that netbooks are deficient without the optical drives like CD or DVD. However, it should be noted that the Max capacity of DVD is about 4 GB and CD 700 MB. However 4 GB pen drives are available for about Rs. 300 and hence one can do without the optic drives if one can have access to desktops when in need. However, these drives add up to the weight and battery usage. For most netbooks takes care of their mobile PC needs. Harish Kotian From: "Sameer Kumar" To: Subject: Re: [AI] notebook, or netbook?

Actually, the words, languages, way and style of asking was different, but a lot of people here, or elsewhere have asked me the same. So, what’s the deal about it? Well, while answering the same question to a mate just now, I thought to write this, since I’m a little free today, and waiting for days to arrive for some major project undertakings. So, the terms, “laptop”, “notebook” and “netbook” does often confuse generally particularly if you’re not much in the technology shoes. What is what, and which one to buy are some of the major doubts people find themselves tucked in. Considering, here’s my take on them, which may (may not be though) help you out in understanding them better and perhaps in the future course help you determining which is the best for you to buy. First off, as a matter of fact, they all are smaller in size from your colossal looking desktop. and, the “netbook” breed out of them is the smallest from everything else mentioned. Ok, so without much ado, let’s have a quick look on laptop, notebook, and netbook in terms of differences, advantages and disadvantages. Laptop computers: Originally, the laptop computer were not the laptop computers at all. Though the idea behind them was to make a device that can fit on lap and is portable to carry around, but they were way too bulky to be used on anyone's lap. Those who are long been connected through technoworld will give you lot of such examples like Commodore SX-64 and IBM "Green Machine” etc. So, they were not exactly the laptops, and in fact, their prize to was pretty much (I still need some months of my salary with overtime to buy that). Notebook: The makers of technology don’t make it for inconvenience, and they often want people to use and appreciate it. Since it wasn’t much happening in the case of laptops considering it’s yet big size and costly appearance, companies have started scratching their heads to make it even more smaller. Laptop computers eventually progressed to the point where they could actually be held on your lap. By that time, they started calling them "notebook computers", presumably because they opened like notebooks if you turned them sideways. Some people still call them laptop computers and they're not wrong in doing so. Netbook: And, then came the netbooks, from a perspective of confusing people even more. (not actually though). The netbooks are even smaller then notebook and can even fit in your small Tiffin bag. They're basically the same thing as notebook computers, scaled down and focusing on Internet-based applications over locally-based client applications. Ok, so as the time passed, the size has dwindled, but is the size only factor? Not really. First, have a look of a tipicle notebook and it’s configuration: • Screen size : 12 Inch and up • Processor : Intel Pentium Dual-Core,Core 2 Duo or AMD Turion X2 • Graphics : Integrated or External Graphic Card, from Intel GMA x3100 to AMD Mobility HD 3870X2 • Weight : 1.9kg and up. And, now a quick compare with netbook: • Screen size : 12 Inch max • Processor : VIA C7 1.2GHz, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz or AMD Geode 800MHz • Graphics : Integrated Graphic Card, mostly Intel GMA 900 or 950 • Weight : 1.1kg and below. So, there are four important points as you can see: Screen size: I think this we’ve already kind of discussed. Processor: This part is most important. The notebook uses Intel Pentium Dual-Core,Core 2 Duo or AMD Turion X2 as processor, while the netbook uses VIA C7 1.2GHz, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz or AMD Geode 800MHz. The processor of a netbook is much lesser then the processor of notebook, and would not be able to perform high speed computing, graphic/video editing on multiple channels, or working simultaneously on various applications. Graphics and weight: Notebook supports better graphic cards then netbook, therefore it is capable in doing high definition graphic editing, viewing of high definition multi channel videos and so on. Which isn’t possible in netbooks. As per weight, here, the netbook wins the bettle. As you can see, netbooks in comparison are pretty light in weight then the notebooks. So, which is better? >From the outset it looks like netbooks don’t have much features/power, so they aren’t good to buy, but wait. The concept of netbook wasn’t really to provide users facilities of high definition graphic editing, multiple channel video viewing and so on. It was all
