What is exactly different in a NETBOOK,NOTEBOOK, and a LAPTOP ?

Notebooks - laptops that are generally in the 13 - 14 inch range - these are often designed for those in the business industry - people who want to take their work with them but need a big enough screen to be able to scroll through long documents easily. Portable with a lot of usability.



Netbooks - very small, 10 - 11 inch, laptops that are designed to be highly portable and to be used virtually anywhere, something that you can just pull out of your bag on the train or on the bus. Netbooks are mainly designed for those who want to access the internet while traveling, people who want/need to be constantly connected.


  
Laptops - the word laptop applies to both netbooks and notebooks although the word is often associated with larger laptops, 15 - 17 inch screens. These are designed to be portable enough to carry around but are designed to be used on desks rather than in cafes Laptops are often designed for those who move around a lot, from office to office, they are designed to be used on stable surfaces rather than used on ones' lap (although they can be).



Chromebooks - Chromebooks are essentially larger netbooks but their sole purpose is for browsing the Internet, although this could include using Google Docs which means that the screen is slightly larger than a netbooks (Chromebooks often have 12.1 inch screens). Chromebooks also run Chrome OS which is an operating system that is designed to look and feel like Google Chrome but with all the functionality of Windows or Linux operating systems.
