My laptop is ready for the knackers yard, so I'm looking to either get a new one or maybe a netbook. I can't decide. I can take a netbook on holiday easily but it has no disc drive.
By the way I don't download games, films or anything like that. Just surf net, emails and photos. Can you skype on a netbook?
Help please!! |

Most of them have webcams so yeah skype is no problem. Like you say, the big difference is a disk drive. You can get USB disk drives pretty cheaply though, so unless you actually need to use disks on the move it's not a problem. Never bothered me about mine! Battery life is a big plus too, mine's about 12 hours or something silly. |

"Try the new i-Pad.....I recently brought both a new Dell laptop and an i-Pad and find the i-Pad great to carry around on my travels."
I'm on a budget at the moment so an ipad is a bit out of my price range, that's why I'm thinking netbook, just need to know how reliable they are and how many photos can you store on them too! |

If you:
- don't want to type comfortably
- don't want decent 'mouse' buttons
- don't mind scrolling your screen all over the place
- don't want a CD/DVD player
- don't want a fast processor
- don't want loads of memory
then get a netbook. |

if you don't feel like springing for a laptop and reckon a netbook's not good enough, get a notebook. My acer aspire 5732z is technically a notebook but had laptop-grade specs at the time, has an optical drive and runs very nicely - no camera on that model though.
Don't under any circumstances get a Sony Vaio notebook, as a tech support guy I can tell you when those little bastards fail, they fail hard. Give us a rough price range and I'll take a look around for you |
