Wherever on the internet I look for the stories titled best laptops or notebooks below 20k, they are actually about Netbooks. I guess our readers are mature enough to understand the difference between a Netbook and Laptop, its time for our fellow bloggers to get matured and write accordingly.
To spruce up the things, Netbooks are downgraded versions of Laptops whose screen size fall in between 10″ to 13.9″ and their hardwares are optimized to support casual computing, web browsing etc. Any portable computer equal to and above 14″ falls in the category of laptops. Now a days one more category is burgeoning around called Ultrabooks, which come in a size of 13″ with mindblowing hardwares and hefty price tags. We will talk about Ultrabooks sometime later.
Also, if you are planning to buy a netbook, consider reading Best netbooks under Rs. 15000
