Just finished reading one of my favorite IT tech info spot, TechRepublic post which is talking whether to go for Notebook or Netbook. It is obvious the blogger is more preferring Notebook currently after experiencing disappointment from Netbook (which I guess is due to high expectation previously). The debate arised when the author adviced readers to go for the low-range Notebook with long battery hours, smaller size and cheaper price (which is the model shown in the picture above, Acer Timeline series) instead of considering Netbook.
To be honest, I'm not siding any party (nor gaining profit from any party) on this argument, but I do prefer to use Notebook which suites my multipurpose requirement. The best solution? Know what you want, then go get it. Get a Netbook if all you need is fair performance for usual document processing and surfing internet. Get a Notebook if you desire better performance (faster speed & multitasking) such as running multiple applications at the same time. However there might be some budget & mobility limitations. Plan well on how much you willing to spend and use the money wisely.
My advice is do some survey on the model you're interested, important info such as warranty period and where are the service centres available are such not to miss. Best is do the purchase during promotion event such as IT fairs (just make sure you know you're buying from which company & remember to obtain a valid receipt).
