113Tidbits: The Jive On Netbooks

Technically, all netbooks are laptops, at least in size anyway, but they're really not meant to be used as one. A laptop usually has a nice large screen, large capacity hard drive, numerous connections and a powerful CPU to enable the user to use it as a desktop replacement to work on the go. The netbook on the other hand is an internet-centric device that is primarily for email and internet only, you can of course run office applications on them, but the screen on a netbook averages between seven and ten inches, which makes it not the best for office type applications and getting 'real' work done.
