Q: What are the Differences between Laptops, Notebooks, and Netbooks?
A: Honestly, not much. In fact, some people say the terms are all interchangeable. In my opinion, there are some important differences in each that you should know about.
Laptops are generally larger, more powerful portable computers. If you like storing large amounts of pictures or music files, laptops are your best bet.
Notebooks are smaller, less-expensive portable computers. They are great for doing homework or if you only use one or two applications at a time, since they are less powerful.
The smallest of the three, netbooks are a fairly new type of laptop. They are even smaller and more portable than the notebook, and are also less powerful. If you really only use your computer for going on the internet, you might really enjoy having a netbook
And that’s all there is to it! Personally, I prefer notebooks since they’re more portable than the average laptop and have more power than most netbooks. It’s the best of both worlds!
