It is used primarily for surfing the Internet thus the name, interNETBOOKBut a netbook can also play films(HD Movies), songs and even games. So the major difference(s) between a netbook and a laptop, is that most netbooks are:(1). They are generally smaller in size(any laptop with a screen less than 13 inches should be a netbook)(2). They don’t have any Disk Drive (either Blu-ray, DVD, or CD)(3). The RAM is usually about 1GB(4). The Hard Drive storage space is mostly between 80GB to 160GB…
