How To: Notebook Vs Netbook

Im asking for a acer apire one for christmas and I dont whant a big laptop because the screen size is so big and to get a laptop with 12 inch screen it would cost £500 and I just whanted it just to play games (it can play online games and usb games) and to write some documents and do a bit of homework. Acer aspire one rocks.

Acer Aspire One wins compared to all other netbooks, not in power but for upholding the original idea of a netbook.

This guy is a liar and most of it is BS i wouldnt trust this guy and 120gb is enough and plus u can add on to that a bit more for like what 20-30bucks. The netbook, the acer one, is good and take ur chances while u can before stockmarkets go back up. I havent bought this but i was a bit late since i bought a PC....But trust me the netbook is worth it!

my aspire one has a 120gb hdd, and the Intel Atom is a dual core processor.

wtf!!! half the stuff this guy said is bullshit i have the 1gb version with 120gb hdd and it runs programmes and games jus fine i also have the hp g6000 and i prefer my acer any day to that.

GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT DIPSHIT!!!

There are so many incorrect statements in this video. You can watch videos - not from a DVD, but you can watch them. You can easily do "office" programs. Open Office does not take a lot of computing power. You can listen to music, rip/burn from an external dvd/cd drive.

whats the hard drive?

what about 160 gb aspire one?

dude high quality net books come at least 120gb i saw a lenova with 160gb maybe it doesnt have the fastest processor stop dissin the netbooks

TBH - This is kinda misleading :(

Netbooks has full OS (since when was WinXP not a full OS)
Netbook can play older games,play music etc
Netbook just is not as powerful or fully featured (no DVD drive as you mentioned)
You can play music and movies, you can plug in an external DVD drive to play.

The big difference for me, is simply power, size and weight. The atom is great as what it does but you can still do photoshop -- just dont expect it to be lightning fast all the time :)

cool! good for you!

lol.
i configured my mouse so it was left and right click

booo. The only thing I disagree about the mac is the one click mouse. LOL. i sorta looks funny when you watch me try to menuvere around the mac. You'll be like, "What, si that guy on drugs or somthing". LOL. Dont watch me try to use the mac.

Can you use a external dvd drive for netbook?

The aspire one is probably the best netbook availible. The one Im getting has the specs of my 1 year old low range laptop. Honestly, if you get the xp version of this netbook, your really just getting a light notebook. A lot can change in one month, and Im certain that you can do all functions a normal laptop can, maybe just using iso files and deamon tools instead of a cd/dvd drive. Or you can get an external cd/dvd drive.
