Hi,
I would like to know that in what manner are notebooks better than laptops?
What is the basic difference between notebook & laptop?

Netbook are smaller that laptop. Netbook cannot offer much power because of it's size.

Well notebooks were designed for basic usage of computers Like Web surfing, Corporate Usage, Office Presentations, and also for students ...

So although u have most all basic functionality on notbooks ...
it is not possible to run HI End Programs on NoteBooks, Coz they are packed with only low sys resources ... and simply cannot withstand the demands of Hi end Video, Photography, Visual FX and Digital Audio

So in short its like a lry LITE version of the Litest LAPTOP Configurations Available.

I think you mean 'netbook'. Notebooks and laptops are the same thing. Netbooks are the really small laptops with 9"-ish screens.

I wouldn't recommend one for anything other than taking photos off your camera on the move, or editing a word document on a train. It really has no power available.

Many people seem to think that netbooks are a great solution because they need a cheap laptop. This is not always the case. Netbooks have very limited power, and cannot do everything a regular laptop can. If you want to be able to do simple and basic things such as type up word documents and check your emails from a very small, lightweight, portable computer; you want a netbook. If you are going to run complex programs, upload/download, watch videos, etc; you will not be happy with a netbook and you need a laptop. If price is an issue in why you are thinking you want a netbook, you'd be better off with a used laptop than a new netbook for anything more than very light usage.

There are many netbooks around nowadays. I saw many people using it in my class, and I actually saw a friend use it a couple of days ago. I would say people like it because it is small and easy to carry around.
