Netbook vs Laptop: Sorry for my ignorance...what is the difference between a netbook and a laptop?

The difference is that there is no CD rom on a Netbook. So you have to download every program you want to put on it...hence NETbook. You can load it with a USB device but it's easier to just download it. Also the screens and keyboards are a bit smaller.

As long it is the same hard drive size as the netbook, it should work fine. Not sure if the netbook is the same size hard drive as a laptop, but your user information should tell you what size.....

Thank you for that information. Sadly I had to return my MSI U120 as the keyboard was defective. Sam's Club had a Dell mini notebook/netbook for $348 and I just bought it. It's really nice as I already have a Dell Inspirion laptop.

You can try it. No guarantee but you also may want to check out Best Buy. I've not heard of a Netbook. If it doesn't work, you should be able to return for a refund. Hope this helps!!

Gary, I do have a question you might be able to answer for me. Since I'm home a lot using the netbook, should I conserve my battery as I'd seen someone mention elsewhere? Is is best to remove the battery and use the power cord to do so? Is that harmful in any way to battery life or computer?

anyone who says that a 2GB memory won't speed up your netbook don't know what their talking about. use the PC2-6400 800MHz memory. If you don't mind spending the extra 43 bucks then get it, you'll be happy you did.

don't know. do a Google search asking question of minimum requirements for one gig ram and specific processor of your netbook. A bigger operating system may gain you very little in terms of benefits and slow down system.

There is a very small screw which releases a panel on the bottom of the netbook which will allow you to get into the memory compartment. I have not ventured in there yet, but there is only one access panel on the bottom of the netbook and one little screw. Seems pretty basic and easy to do from what I hear and my experience with other laptop memory upgrades.

but there are netbooks for under 200. and they do so much more. Chromebook at over 300 does seem odd.

I am not sure what you are asking, but the battery worked well, lasted longer since it was a bit bigger than the one that came with my netbook. Unfortunatelly I broke mine, but worked great till that point.

No... CD/DVD drive. This is a Netbook. Get a larger Laptop if you need a CD/DVD drive. :-)

Im not sure. Depends on how much memory is required. This netbook has very little & is more of a tablet type use pc

If you have vista on pc, on your pc: Open explorer -&gt; right click -&gt; share You might have to go to control panel -&gt; network -&gt;file sharing -&gt; to enable file sharing, etc On your netbook, Do a network scan on your netbook, find the hard drive, -&gt; then I think you can add the hardware as mapped drive. I make the assumption you know how to put both pc and netbook on the same network.

Yes it will...but first check how many RAM slots you have in this small "netbook". Larger laptops have 2 slots for 2 RAM sticks. Netbooks, like you have, usually have just one slot...thus you can only have one RAM stick. Again, check this out. In any case, the model you mentioned (netbook) can have a maximum RAM of 2 GB and it would be best to be able to have a total of 2 GB installed total RAM. If you have only one slot total, then you'll need to to get a 2 GB stick to max out the RAM which would give you better performance most likely.

Yes, but this is not the same model. That one, as you mention, is equipped with a 250GB drive, instead of the 160GB, and has Bluetooth functionality. It also costs about $40 more. It's available on Amazon as well: <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00322PYXG/>In fact, I see now the white version of this netbook is also available: <http://www.amazon.com/Seashell-1001P-MU17-WT-10-1-Inch-White-Netbook/dp/B00322PYWM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s;=pc&qid;=1264413983&sr;=1-5>Only this black version of the netbook, which is the one I prefer, has been delayed for some reason.

Zhi:Thanks for all your great explanations.Maybe S.Pachella knows how to put both the pc and netbook on the same network, but I don't. Could you explain? Linking a pc w/DVD to the netbook seems like such a perfect approach. Thx.Gayle
