Tech advice and opinions requested, please. My desktop computer is several years old but still running fine so I don't want to replace it yet. However, I would like something portable. As usual, I am confused by the variety of choices.
Laptop
Notebook
Netbook
Ipad & other tablets
What is the difference between these, other than size? I mean, the Ipad looks like the most expensive option, so what features does it have that the others don't, why would I even consider it?
(Now that I think of it, I'm a PC user not a MAC so even to look at an Ipad, wouldn't I have to learn a new language? Do other tablets even come close to Ipad for features?)
I think a laptop will probably be physically larger than what I want because the whole point is to be portable.
Looks like they all have plenty of hard drive space. Other than physical size of the case and viewing screen, what is the difference between a notebook and a netbook?
I don't think I'm considered a demanding computer user. I just want something I can carry to a meeting or coffee shop. I don't have time to play games so don't need the extra hardware for them. I have gotten fond of being able to see photos that family and friends put on Facebook. I do a lot of research for sewing projects, and post to a few discussion forums, so I do use the keyboard a lot.
So are my main decisions going to be size of screen and the price?
