Netbook or laptop?

Recently, I asked a question to my subscribers on Friendfeed wether or not to get a Netbook or a Laptop. They of course were very helpful, in replying, but then it made me think, whether which one is better to purchase. Netbooks, are slower and small, but they are meant for portability. A laptop on the other hand, is faster, and less portable. Choosing between a Netbook or a Laptop, is hard. I want something cheap, but I also want something powerful. I have only seen Netbooks at the CPU speed of 1.6 GHZ. I want something in the 2GHZ range. The funny part is, I don’t want a netbook for portability. Your probably thinking, then get a Laptop. Right? The only reason I looked into netbooks, was for the Price. Of course, you get what you pay for, but Netbooks could seem like an option. For now, I am just searching for the perfect netbook. If you have any recommendations for one, then please comment below. What are your thoughts on Netbook or Laptops. Which do you prefer. Please feel free to comment below.

 I use a samsung NC10 with an extra gig of ram. Runs all day long on a single charge and the best keyboard on any netbook I have seen. – The Tech News Blog

I love my hp netbook – MikeAmundsen

I was thinking about getting the Lenovo IdeaPad S10e Netbook http://bit.ly/xDrmuTheHenry

Any suggestion for something semi-fast for under $300? – TheHenry

It says the S10e has good battery life – how long will it run on a charge? – The Tech News Blog

I am not sure. Battery life honestly isn’t my concern. I want something cheap, but fast for a netbook. – TheHenry

I think the best price on an NC10 is around $350 – Pity, as it’s fast, 160gig hd and beautiful to work with. – The Tech News Blog
Something else I need to add, if next week, Apple announces a netbook, I will have to buy that for sure! – TheHenry
