Netbooks came out as a hot technology item in 2009, unlike the notebooks with cheaper cost, less size, light weight and dame capacity. Best for net surfing and word processing while travelling, netbooks lack the processing power for computation like video and audio editing.

Cost

Size

2. While notebooks have larger for a larger display, netbooks have saved money, space and weight with smaller display.

Weight

3. The greatest benefit for netbooks over notebooks is their reduced weight. While notebooks can weigh about 8 pounds, most netbooks weighs less than 3 pounds most suitable while on the go.

Capabilities

4. While producers continue to pack more processing capacity in tiny cases, netbooks tend to lack the processing capacity than Notebooks. Streamlined for net surfing and word processing, netbooks lack massive HDD, RAM, parallel CPUs and other features of cutting-edge computing.

Considerations
