Notebook or Netbook?

Hey, do you need a new computer for school, but don’t want a bulky desktop? Well maybe you should consider a netbook or a notebook. Wait, you don’t know the difference? I’ll fill you on the basics. A notebook is just another way of saying a laptop, it has the basics: cd/dvd drive, most new ones come with webcam and mic. The sizes of most screens range from 13 to 17in. and has at least 250 gb memory, and 2 or 4 gb of ram. What does that mean? You can store a lot of files, and your machine can handle running multiple programs at once. The majority of prices, range anywhere from 500 to 2000 dollars. A netbook on the other hand is smaller and cheaper, with a screen size about 11in, and price usually less than 500 dollars. But it doesn’t come with a cd/dvd drive, and usually has 1 gb of ram, and 160 gb of memory, which is not bad at all for basic computing. It can run a word processor and the internet with little problem. So know you know the basics, now all you have to do is decide what you will mostly use it for, is it just word and internet, or do you do some music or movie or picture editing, or gaming? Choose wisely.
