laptop or netbook

[Bodvts]

Think i'm going to need a new laptop soon mine keeps over heating and switching off getting more regular. Dont know what to go for since me and mrs got iphones we hardly ever switch computer on even then all we do is browse on net dont download stuff, use itunes, want to watch odd dvd and use like word and excel. I've seen a netbook where get a usb dvd writer and extra hdd for quite bit cheaper than laptopare they good alternative or not? for size they are they'd be great for taking on holiday and things like that

Depends what you want, if your literally just browsing the web then a netbook may be okay.

I personally couldnt live with the tiny power of a netbook, even opening eclipse(a programming IDE), is a chore!

depends for what kind of reason u use your laptop or notebook .... but i u chose to buy a laptop ... buy apple ... if notebook ... emm... i have sony vayo vpcm12m1e ... its nice .. looks nice, feel very nice ... but battery life sucks ..

i have both and i prefer my netbook over the laptop, the only downside is the small screen and memory capabilities but if we watch a movie we plug the netbook into the telly and i have a portable hardrive to run my programmes such as itunes off.
hope this helps
