Netbook:
- lowest cost, low power consumption
- ranges from "unusable" to "impressive, but I can't game on it"
--> perfect for internet use and taking notes
Laptop:
- more expensive, more power consumption
- ranges from "really crappy" to "really good"
--> perfect for everything beyond internet use and taking notes
Q: If you have a cell with internet and decent note taking capabilities, is there any need to buy a netbook? Ever?
A: No. Unless you really like devices with screens and don't mind to waste money.
And what about netbooks like mine? Which are more powerful than your average laptop, and can do a lot more than just browse the internet and take notes?
