A laptop is a full size (12" or larger) screen with the full compliment of things you'd expect in a laptop, usually to include a CD/DVD drive.
A netbook is a small footprint laptop (12" or smaller screen) which does not have a CD/DVD drive and usually has a smaller/less impressive processor and typically lower performance components. The network devices are not speedy, etc... If all you do is email and surf, it's just fine.
However, a netbook is very lightweight and has good battery life, so is very portable. In a lot of respects, it's kind of like a tablet, but it has a keyboard and no touch screen (the newer units with Win 8 might...).
And then there is the 'in-between' units. i have an Acer 1410 that has the footprint and physical characteristics of a netbook, but the processor and storage of a laptop. It's the only computer I use for everything. If I want a bigger screen, I hook it to an external 24" monitor or my 42" LVD TV.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for. I'm only using it for recreational purposes. Not work so essentially FB, SoMD, Netflix. Etc. I hate the tablet I had because of the touchscreen and typing. Kiddo busted my laptop last week.
dads a ####ty babysitter, but I think I will just snag up a NetBook

I've had an acer netbook for years, and it has worked out well for me. I even used it for work. I think my husband paid $200 for it after my desktop crashed
Unfortunately, when the battery gave out and I bought a new one, the book doesn't see the new battery now. Apparently it is a common issue, and there is something you have to do with the bios to correct it. I've been too chicken to make an attempt

Did you decide on what you wanted?
Macs were on sale at Best Buy over the weekend.

Not yet, I have been using my husbands Acer little netbook and it's really slow. How do the Mac's compare? I also don't like how tiny the keyboard is.

I have a Macbook Pro (several years old) and just bought a new Air over the weekend. I LOOOOOOOOOVE these machines. Love!!!!!!!! I was hooked on Dell for a long time before pulling the trigger on Apple.

I've had Dell, Sony, HP, and none have lasted more than 2 years, the HP is dead b/c of kid, but I hated it anyway. Maybe I'll have to check it out, almost pulled the trigger on a Gateway netbook last week b/c Ebay had them some big blowout, but, again I was't very familiar and did't want to just go with the cheapest :shrug:

I want to say my Pro is a 2005 or 2006 and I still use it so that tells you how good they last. I was NOT in the market for a new laptop but hubby said they were on sale so naturally we bought one.
Macs really never go on sale so I was pleased with the savings. 
you have been driving Yugo's, Chevette's, Vega's, K Cars ....
Step up to a Caddy ......
or a better basic PC - maybe a business class unit like HP elite-books or Dell Latitude
