These days you can get a netbook with 2 GB RAM and a 160 GB HD.  Most
run XP Home, but some run Linux and some even run Vista.  Netbooks are
more than adequate for use when traveling, and as you said, they are
much smaller and lighter than traditional laptops, and have much better
battery life.

Hello all,

I am upgrading my computer equipment and need to know whether it is
better to purchase a net book or a laptop?
I am getting a new desktop computer, and I wanted a second machine for
taking on trips.

Even though the memory and hard drive capacity of the  netbook are
considerably less than a laptop, I like the concept of a simple machine
that doesn't cost much.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Liz
