What Makes Notebooks Better?
-
Despite the fact that notebooks have fewer features packed in than laptops, notebook users often enjoy very long battery life as well as unbeatable portability. Their low profile and light weight often makes it easier to carry them along.
What Makes Laptops Better?
-
Laptops serve the user with the most conveniences possible. The high amount of internal hardware makes them slightly heavier, but the right laptop can serve as a good substitute for a home desktop PC, which may last you years.
Making Right Choice
-
Depending on your needs, you will need to make a decision between having a laptop or a notebook. If you can live without a CD/DVD drive and a full keyboard, you can usually get along fine with a notebook. Heavy use of full keyboards and the CD/DVD drive might make you feel more comfortable with a laptop, however.
