The ads for netbooks and notebooks seem have the pricing very close. If you shop carefully you can find both priced for about $300.

So I wonder if there is any real value in getting a netbook or should I just stick with a notebook? I like the idea of the netbooks being small and lightweight.

I would like to keep it in the car and just use it when I am at work waiting for a delivery or  stuck in the doctor’s office or dentist waiting room. I wonder if the battery lasts long enough to be useful? Are there any problems with a netbook that I don’t know about?
