Netbooks are a subclass of laptops, however they have a much smaller display and limited features due to their small size. Netbooks are often more convenient for working outside the home than laptops due to a number of objective factors.
The size
The size of the netbook is significantly smaller than that of notebooks. Netbooks are marketed as lighter devices that are easier to carry than laptops. Laptop computers are considerably lighter than their full-size laptops, they fit easily into a medium-sized bag and most often don't need an extra case.
Performance
Due to their smaller size, netbooks have more modest performance figures. Device manufacturers are forced to reduce the size of the components used and develop new technologies for interaction between the elements of the computer. As a result, the power of the device drops significantly compared to laptops - netbooks are practically unable to run complex graphics applications due to the low-power built-in video card, which is only capable of playing video files and displaying images on the screen.
Thus, the function of these devices is to work with office documents, browse the Internet, launch applications for graphic editing and simple games.
The processor in such devices also operates on the basis of special technologies that significantly limit the power.
Food
Power limiting has a positive effect on the battery life of the netbook. Modern devices are able to work autonomously without the need for charging for more than 4-6 hours, which is much higher than similar indicators of laptops.
Other differences
Netbooks have fewer USB ports for connecting additional accessories - as a rule, no more than 3 connectors. The devices have a smaller screen, which rarely has HD resolution due to the limitations of the graphics card. An important difference between netbooks is their price, which can start from $ 200 and not exceed $ 1000.
There is a large range of devices that are equipped with shock and moisture resistant cases.
Netbooks are ideal for people who often surf the Internet. Due to the presence of all the necessary interfaces for accessing the Internet (Wi-Fi and Ethernet), the device can be used almost anywhere a network is available. This device is convenient to work with office documents, it is easy to carry, and therefore the netbook will become indispensable for users undemanding to computer performance.
