DJMadness29 Posted 16 August 2011 Share Posted 16 August 2011 Hi all The laptop has gone kerputted so looking for something new. Needs to be cheapish as funds are tight at the minute. What are peoples views on notebooks? I know they've only got a small memory but I've got an external hard drive for that. Any help would be appreciative as using me phone all the time is doing me head it. Ta Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozleicester Posted 16 August 2011 Share Posted 16 August 2011 Ive been using a laptop as my main comp for 2 years and perfectly happy with it.. but also have a notebook for easy travelling... couldnt imagine using it permanently, too slow, keys too small and general usage is a hassle. Go for a cheap 15inch lappy IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red5 Posted 16 August 2011 Share Posted 16 August 2011 Do you mean a netbook(a notebook is a laptop), handy for carrying around but if it's for at home get a laptop, I've got one if your looking s/h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 16 August 2011 Share Posted 16 August 2011 I have a netbook (not notebook) and a desktop. I use the netbook whenever I need it, such as going away on an plane/train, in an airport/train station or if I go downstairs at home etc. Anyway, the netbook is good for simple storage and simple tasks, such as web browsing or just basic office work, not for activities such as playing high demand games. Obviously netbooks don't have internal optical drives either, and they are not as upgradeable as a desktop which I like to play around with. Choose wisely...

DJMadness29 Posted 16 August 2011 Author Share Posted 16 August 2011 Sorry, ment netbook. My main usage is internet and iplayer and occasionally something on word. Have a desktop for downloading stuff but got stung and got the .exe virus thing and just haven't got round to trying to fix it. Are they a lot slower than a laptop then?

Legend_in_blue Posted 18 August 2011 Share Posted 18 August 2011 The Samsung NC10 is a great little netbook. We take it abroad when we go on holiday. Get one of those - or something similar, they've probably upgraded it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
