Difference b/w Notebooks and Netbooks




Notebook, or laptop, is a portable computer that normally have :
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

Netbook, a smaller variant of notebook, 1st poineered by Asus with their release of Asus Eee PC 700,and now laptop companies such as Acer and MSI released their own netbooks (Acer aspire one and MSI wind respectively), have :
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


While netbooks will take you onto the Internet, they won't replace notebook computers, since they lack the processing power to create media and handle advanced graphics and video—and they will not allow you to multitask. Netbooks are low-cost and highly portable, but they're designed for one task at a time.
