What is the difference between these three types of portable computers?
Many people believe that a laptop and a notebook are exactly the same. The names are often used interchangeably and are thought to mean the same thing. But as explained here, there are differences between a laptop and notebook.
A notebook is similar to a laptop, but it is smaller (12" to 14" screens), does not have a CD/DVD drive, has a slower processor, and has a low end graphics card. As a result, the battery life is usually much better than a laptop.
So when shopping for a laptop/notebook don't worry so much about what the name says. Pay more attention to what hardware the system has.
A netbook is similar to the notebook with the exception of a smaller screen (usually 8" to 12") and an even slower processor. But, like the notebook, netbook's have a low end graphic card and a long lasting battery.
So make sure you know what requirements you have (portablility, battery life, screen size, etc.) and shop around for the best option. There are plenty out there.
