Look at my beautiful babes.
On the right is my new HP Mini 210 and Fujitsu L1010 on the right.
To answer that question netbook is for portability and notebook is for performance but not as good as desktop.
After a week using my mini.
I feel that you should get yourself a netbook if you can afford it.
Honestly its really portable.
About a kilogram of mass, need not to bring bulky notebook to Starbucks or McDonald's to surf the net.
But if you are using heavy softwares such as Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Autodesk AutoCAD 2010, get yourself a notebook first then get a netbook.
I watched a few movies that I downloaded before coming back to KL for the Chinese New Year break, guess what?
The video played well like a portable DVD player.
No drop of quality if you are playing the video from the hard disk drive.
But there is a fall back when I played Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball via my USB Flash Drive, the rendering of the video drop causes the frames per second (fps) to drop from 30fps to 15-20fps.
My advice, transfer the video to you hard disk before watching it.
Using Skype is fine as I'm given two choice, using the Skype in my Windows or Skype in HP Quick Web interface.
I can log in to my Skype without entering my Windows.
Surfing the net also can be done without entering the Windows.
This reduce the time of getting yourself on the net as entering the Windows take at least half of a minute, the HP Quick Web interface is ready to be use as you turn on the netbook like your PDA just without touchscreen.
In a nut shell, get yourself a netbook if you want to surf the net with portability and less fuss.

yeah...heard d best netbook is Toshiba's...but i think it'll be in danger once iPad hits d market...& once Google Chrome arrives in 2011...
ReplyDeletebut whatever it is, Windows 7 is here to stay...Microsoft just can't innovate a new product yet after disappointing customers and causing losses to companies with it's Vista flops...
Ipad is nice but it is using a slower processor compare to netbook(1Ghz vs 1.67Ghz)...
ReplyDeletePrice is soaring high...
Rm2500 and not using Mac Snow Leopard at all.
It uses Iphone OS.
Some more it has incompatibility with amazon website...
To me I would rather get myself a tablet pc from Toshiba, Fujitsu or HP with that price.
Google OS is awesome but not in Malaysia as it is a web based OS...
Slow internet of Malaysia is not ready for it...
Maybe in five years time...
The current best netbook are the ones that comes with touchscreen and dedicated graphic cards such the new Nvidia's technology, Ion...
Vista is not disappointing as what you see if you are using a middle higher end computers.
Vista is disappointing at the starting but its actually better than XP according to my room mate that is doing his degree in Software Engineering...
Mac and Windows have their own pros and cons...
gaming is still the best when it comes to Windows and Graphic designer is still the best when it comes to Mac...

The field that I'm into does not allows me to use Mac OS...
ReplyDeleteSoftwares like Aspen Plus and Solid Work only runs on Windows.
No point of me to get a Mac running pc yet.
I will only get a Mac based machine after I got myself a desktop during my degree and my own car...
Maybe a Macbook will do for as the price is lower than 4k...

But if you got the cash, Windows based computers are still the best...
