What is the difference between Netbook, Notebook and Nettop? This is a very common question arises in your mind. Many readers ask these types of questions from me and this inspire me to write this post. Now Firstly I will tell you the meaning of 3 N’s. Notebook is not a notepad but a new name of Laptop. For better understanding you call them laptop notebooks. And Netbook is smaller form of laptop which performs all major function of laptop. And finally Nettop is very small version of Desktop which is already discussed in my previous post.

This is basic difference between 3 N’s for a novice, but if you are tech savvy then I think it is not sufficient for you. Let’s discuss them in detail. Notebook (Laptop) is a device with a keypad and a touchpad hinged with screen. This device have all the features like CD drive, USB port, LAN port, VGA port with Hard disk of minimum 80 GB with at least 12 inch screen. You can use the notebook in your personal as well as official use. Many companies are providing Notebook i.e. Sony, Dell, HCL, Lenevo, HP, Toshiba , Acer and ASUS. Usually Laptop price range starts from $1000

Now come to 2nd N Notebook. Netbook is a small version of laptop (Notebook). Mini laptop and Sub-notebook are some other names of Netbook. The idea behind a Netbook is to make the laptop more handy and easy to carry. Screen size of Netbook is 8~ 12 inches which is the least limit of laptop. On the features part Netbook is also weaker. Like, it does not contain CD/DVD drive. Due to less space the numbers of ports may be less in Netbook. Usually battery life of Netbook is also less than that of laptop. There are some common features in Netbook and Notebook like hard disk RAM, Operating System. All the companies those are providing notebooks are coming with their Netbook due to increase in their popularity. Is price range varies from $300~$1000. If you want a handy device like Netbook and features like Computer Notebooks then you need not to worry, many companies like ASUS, Dell and Sony are continuously upgrading their Netbook’s to give all features like notebooks.

Nettop is new term in tech world; it is a condensed version of Desktop. Nettop is small box contains Atom processor, hard disk and USB, LAN, VGA ports. Like Netbook Nettop does not contain CD/DVD drive due to less space. Nettop are so smaller that it can hide behind your LCD screen. As Nettop is new only few companies are providing Nettops i.e. Sony, Dell, Acer. Its cost you so what around $400.

We have discussed 3 N’s but still you some doubt that which gadget suits you best. Let’s solve this dilemma. If you are a user with normal official and personal usage and don’t want to speed more bucks then you should buy a notebook. If you are a user want to you a portable gadget of giving presentation to your customers or to your superiors regularly then you need some handy like Netbook. And if you are technology hunger and want to take a full excitement of Gaming, latest software and movies then you should surely go for a Nettop.

Here are some best 5 of all the three N’s

On Thursday launch event for Microsoft Windows 7 had finished in New York. It was very launch simple launch unlike XP and Vista launch. This shows that the companies are not spending too much launch and may be spending the same to money to do other marketing activities or making stronger distribution network.

Chris Liddell, Microsoft's CFO on Friday optimistically said "We are staying reasonably cautious about the [business PC] upgrade cycle; certainly we expect it to begin next year, but we talk about it spreading maybe over a couple of years so I would like to think that we would start to see much better business PC numbers year-over-year next calendar year,"

Though the company officials are very enthusiastic about the success of windows 7 but market has some different views on that. According to article written by Brisbane Times; people are not worried about the operating system they were used, they are more bother about the applications and software on which they want to perform a particular function. Moreover some people will not upgrade to Windows 7 as pirated software will run on that. On the other side of coin PC World and CNET reviewing positively on Windows 7 and also recommending their readers.

This news is not good for Britishers, as the company has increase the price by £20 in Britain. This hike was also the first hike of the company in Britain since its launch three years back.

When Media asked the explanation about this price hike the Nintendo official said it brought in the change to cope with fluctuating currency exchange rates.

Though PlayStation and XBOX has already reduced their prices but according to market experts there will not any type effect on Wii but still it needs some improvement.

In Media Advertisement of Videocon, Bollywood Multi Starer Shahrukh Khan says “Bada Hai to Behtar Hai” means “Big is better”. But now the things have totally changed. Every thing is going to shrink. If we talking of gadgets earlier mobile are big in size to put in the pocket, but now all the companies are rushing to make a thinnest and smallest mobile. Let’s take the example of Television earlier televisions were big box type structure, but now you are watching smallest and thinnest plasma TV. So how can a desktop pc escape from this transformation? Firstly Desktop PC has also come with a new form of Laptop. Laptop computers are becoming popular in customers mind due to mobility, style, battery backup and the most important feature is its small size and weight. But most of consumers felt an experience gap between Laptop and desktop. That’s why manufactures are trying to bridge this gap by introducing a new Avtar of desktop called “NETTOP”. Nettops are not a new thing but the condensed version of desktop computers which can performs all the operations in better way.

Good news for you!!!! Some of reputed companies are going to introduce their Nettops in this month. And in this race Asus, Lenovo and Acer are the leaders. Let’s catch out who have the power to win this race.

Firstly discussing about ASUS Zune HD, it is a good looking, small intelligent machine which will come with a 20 inch Touch screen LCD along with wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. This will be loaded with intel Atom processor 330 which is having the same performance as performed by Intel Dual Core in desktop computers. It is having 2 GB RAM with 250 GB Hardrive with Wi-fi feature.

Then come to Acer Veriton N260G, this is formal looking business computer which will be loaded with Intel atom GN40, a 160 GB Hard drive and 2 GB RAM. Veriton is also having memory Card Reader, Six USB Ports with both HDMI and VGA Port. Acer will also introduce this machine with a Smart LCD which has a space to hold this machine on its back.

Then we have come to Lenovo Idea Center Q110, this is a most stylish Nettop and thinnest among the three. In this you have free to choose you’re LCD, mouse and keyboard. This machine is loaded with Intel Atom N230 with 2GB RAM and 250 GB Hardrive like ASUS Zune. Moreover in this you can also choose its smaller variant named Q100. It will come with same Intel Atom N230 with 1GB RAM and 160 GB Hardrive. Lenovo has also disclosed the price, the Q110 you $349 (Rs. 16,800 approx.) and Q100 costs you $249 (Rs. 12,000 approx.).

Now have a look on the comparison of three with main features from which implies ASUS Zune HD is a winner, as it having dual core and 250 GB hard disk memory.

But in design and stylist department you can not beat Lenovo Idea Center Q110. So it depend upon you who will be the winner, if you are tech savvy only then ASUS will be your choice and you want a style then definitely go to Q110.

I think while buying a new computer, now “NETTOP” is in your consideration.
