Since the first netbook was launched on the market, most consumers have asked time and again what they should choose. "Will a netbook be enough or should I go for a laptop?" This dilemma has been around for some time now. That is why we are going to compare and contrast the two. We hope that by knowing the various differences in their specifications, you will get to make a more worthwhile decision. After all, procuring a consumer electronic gadget mainly depends on it purpose and how will it be used.

A typical netbook model's size would fall under the range of 6-10 inches, making the keyboard very limited but only weighing up to 3 pounds. The usual laptop, on the other, hand can range from 12-20 inches with an average weight of 4 pounds or more. So basing on the netbook's lighter weight, it is of course easier to carry around. Hence, if you lead a fast-paced life and you typically go around from one place to another, the netbook is a good candidate to select.

The next features to determine are storage capacity and processor type. There are now models that provide up to 160 GB storage for netbooks while laptops can go as high as 500 GB. Naturally, laptops would have faster processors compared to netbooks in general because of size. There are also the DVD drivers and battery concerns, which are lacking or limited in most netbooks while substantial in laptops. Thus, depending on your intended use, you can discern if a netbook's overall capacity or that of a laptop will be more suitable to your needs.
