Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying a laptop with the money I'm earning from work. My parents think I'm better off buying a netbook instead? How do they differ from laptops?

Netbooks are good, very good. The only downside is they don't have a DVD drive, but you can pick up an external for £30 so it's not much of a hassle. If you're looking at Netbooks I advise looking at the latest Asus netbook, it has a dual-core processor.

Add me if you play COD Black Ops or Fifa 11.
I would rather go for a laptop, but that just me.
I'm kinda looking for something that's atleast 2GB and can't find nay Asus 2GB netbooks.
I think I would too but netbooks are cheaper.
What would you need 2 gig in a netbook for, a gig would be fine.
Well it'd be faster? Bt I suppose I'd only be using it for social networking nd my school work and stuff?
Apart from the obvious size differences, the specs in comparison to a regular laptop are considerably lower. Netbooks are designed to be highly portable and efficient at simple tasks, which explains the spec differences.
If you're getting a new computer for school, explain to your parents that a netbook isn't designed for school use. Although it's more than possible to actually do schoolwork on them, it's just not the same as a laptop.

Laptops are well worth it... Especially if your still gonna play habbo the screen will be tiny on a netbook! I use to have one but the cooling system was that crap it over heated and fried the motherboard. It was hp as well. I seriously don't recommend it. I'd save up for a laptopespecially near Xmas the prices will be going down.
