Netbook or notebook?

Well, It's maybe a litlle bit too late to share, but I'll share a little about netbook or notebook.
Nowadays the gadgets world get a new member and it's called netbook, You must know it, started with AsusEee PC, The ultra Thin & mobile also cheap PC, now there are many brands follow the step to produce a small n cheap mobile PC.

So What's netbook?,what's the difference between netbook and 13,3" lower display notebook?
Generally, netbook designed from the beginning to support daily activity such as browsing,checking email, word editing, or making a spreadsheet maybe (I don't recommend the last one, cuz making a spreadsheet in a 10'1" display would be a pain in the eye) While notebook as we know have a similiiar performance to desktop PC plus it's mobile.

Physically netbook or notebook can be recognized by it's display size, netbook has a display around 7" - 10", notebook has 10" and bigger size display Other differences is optical drive many netbook brands don't have an optical drive attached, the other difference is the price netbook usually have price around $200 - $400 but u'll hard to find a notebook has a lower price than $400

After Asus make a big hit with their Eee PC, so many vendor follow and try to share the market, such Acer with their Aspire One, MSI with their windbook, Hp with their hp mininote, Lenovo with their S10 and many more, even Nokia launch their netbook plus intregated 3G modem called Booklet 3G.

So with one is suit for you?
