Netbooks are all in vogue since the last two years. They were introduced first by Asus as the Eee Pc. The netbooks available currently are much higher versions of what was availabletwo years back. Intel specially introduced the Atom processor for netbooks and smaller size PCs. The question you may have in mind is whether you should purchase a netbook or anotebook. You should totally go for a notebook if you are just looking to replace your PC with a portable solution and need as much computing power. You will need a notebook if you plan to run resource-intensive applications, graphics intensive programs, games, etc.

Netbooks work best if your use of the computer is mostly restricted to using the Internet.For bloggers, a netbook is God-sent from heaven. If you use the computer only for browsing the Internet, checking your emails, updating Facebook, chatting on IM, etc., a netbook is perfect for you. If you travel constantly and need to do all the above stuff on the go, you will find using a netbook much more convenient compared to a notebook. It’s much lighter, smaller and has a longer battery life. Go for an SSD hard disk and your netbook will be so light that you won’t know that you are carrying a computer in your bag. Some netbooks are known to last for more than 10-12 hours alone on their battery which is very difficult to get on a notebook. If you plan to play simple card games like Solitaire, etc.then a netbook will work fine. But if you plan to go for actual games like shooting, racing, etc., a notebook will be a better option. If you plan to watch DVD movies on your computer, you can’t do it on a netbook because most netbooks do not have an in-built disc drive. But every notebook computer has a disc drive and a larger screen. So watching movies is a far better option on notebooks than on netbooks.

Now that you know most of the differences between netbooks and notebooks, go and take your own decision.
