When looking for a portable computer, you'll likely encounter the option between purchasing a traditional laptop computer or a netbook computer. Below we've created a chart that will help compare the two, to give you the pros and cons of each and help make your purchase easier.
Answer
Topic
Laptop
Netbook
Cost
A laptop will often have many more features than a netbook, and therefore cost more to manufacture. If cost is an important factor, a netbook may be a better choice.
Netbooks are often very affordable since they're much smaller and have less components.
Processor
Although there are cheap laptops, the processor that is included with most laptops will be a lot better than that often included in a netbook.
The processor is one of the most expensive components in a computer. Therefore, to help reduce the overall cost, the processor is a low-end processor. This can cause a degraded experience when doing more intensive tasks such as watching movies or playing games.
Keyboard size
With the larger laptop comes a much larger keyboard, making it much easier to type on for users who plan on typing a lot.
Because of their small sizes, netbooks have a much smaller keyboard. If you're planning on using this netbook to type a lot, make sure to play with it before buying it. Some users have an almost impossible time typing effectively on a netbook.
Transport
Because of its larger size, carrying around a laptop could be more of a burden for some users.
With their much smaller sizes, netbooks are a lot easier to carry around. For females, these can often even be carried in a purse.
Screen size
Again a laptop is going to have a much larger screen size than a netbook. Making it much easier to read and view.
Netbooks are much smaller making the screen much smaller if not connected to an external display. Like the keyboard, we highly recommend users look at the netbook and use it before buying it, to make sure it'll work if they plan on using it on the road.
Hard drive
Hard disk drives especially in cheaper laptops are often 5400 RPM hard disk drives and can be slow when it comes to opening a program or otherwise accessing the drive.
To account for their size, netbooks use a SSD drive instead of a hard disk drive. Although these drives are often a lot smaller they're also much faster when it comes to accessing data.
Disc drive
Like any traditional computer, almost all laptops made today will come with a disc drive capable of reading and even creating CD's and DVD's.
Many netbooks will not have a CD-ROM / DVD disc drive. If you wanted to load something from a disc or play a movie or CD, it would not be possible, unless you connected an external drive to a USB port.
OS
Almost every laptop is capable of supporting any operating system. Which means you'll have the ability to run the latest version of Windows and will likely not have issues updating to a later version.
Because many netbooks are stripped down to help lower the overall cost and power consumption, many netbooks are incapable of running the latest version of Windows, and will often come with an older version of Windows or a distro of Linux.
