Could one of you knowledgeable guys please advise me :What is the difference between a Notebook and a Netbook, in computer terminology.??
Would be be a great help to my blind daughter if you could give me a bit of advice in simple terms.
Thanks a lot
Netbooks are as named basically for net only use, if you need storage you'll need to sometimes add a DVD player/burner, they're now coming out with more "feature filled" ones but they cost as much as a notebook now.
Since she's blind, keyboard size would be very important, that's not going to happen with the current Netbooks.
You're better off going with a Notebook with one generation older processor unless she needs the speed? the one advantage if you can call it so; that netbooks have other that smaller footprint, is the solid state HD they have although very small in capacity compared to Notebooks.
