I thought a netbook was a device with keyboard and monitor that has almost 
no internal workings of its own except what's necessary for it to connect 
with the Intent and there find all its applications, from email to word 
processing to , of course, Web browsing. This is not so? Are you quite sure? 
where are you getting your information about this? Thank you very much.

Hi,

A netbook is a real computer that has a real operating system and a real
hard drive.
they are smaller then your conventional laptops.
