The lines can sometimes be a bit blurred but generally speaking a netbook will; 1) use a low powered Atom processor 2) Have a screen size of 10.1" or smaller (anything larger I would consider it to be more of an "ultraportable") 3) Run Windows XP Home or Windows 7 Starter 4) Lack any form of internal dvd drive. Because of that they're on the whole less expensive than a notebook - ideal for browsing the Internet and running basic tasks away from mains power, not so good at streaming video or playing anything other than basic games.

Sorry for the confusion, there is absolutely no difference. Thank you for question..

The main difference between Essential and Home, Office, Premium, etc are the connectivity options (e.g. USB2, firewire, etc). For a full breakdown of the options and their differences, see: http://www.wdmybook.com/en/editions/If you mean the difference between 1st and 2nd Essential Editions (smaller, lighter, no on/off switch, auto power on/off, etc), see this excellent review: http://www.amazon.com/review/RDNCGQ3WR72U6/ref=cm_cr_rdp_permI think I'm going to wait to get a 2nd Edition Essential as I've read too many HDD failure stories with the 1st edition which I'm hoping has been corrected with the 2nd edition.

The only down side to getting a cheaper laptop instead of a netbook is weight/size (size being a plus regarding viewability/screen size).If the weight and size (carrying it) don't bother you, a laptop is a much better value, imho.

To the best of my knowledge nothing....you have to hold onto it if you get a new computer or have to reload. I only use word but I don't think there is any difference

I'm not aware of any netbooks that have an optical/cd drive...they're design is too small to contain one. External CD drives are not overly expensive, but will add to the cost of a netbook (unless you already have one)....they work fine with netbooks but would not be convenient if needed in class (they'd be fine back at the dorm room or apartment). The newer netbooks will do everything you want. Since you're posting on the 1215t thread, I assume you're considering one. How much battery life do you need in class? If you can plug in, it's no problem. With wifi off and screen brightness on low, I can get 5.5+ hours run time. If you need more batter life, the 1215B or 1215P may be a better choice.

So the netbook would have a card slot to upload photos? Will she be able to use this netbook with our printer? Im sorry for such stupid sounding questions but I want to make sure she can do things she currently does on my full size desk top. We are thinking of getting the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v. What is windows 7 starter? Not sure if you should get that or XP? Also not sure what the difference is between Intel Atom Z530 and Intel Atom N270 is, but is it worth an extra $200?

There isn't. They have a more expensive version that syncs to your computer and allows you to save the notes but it's much bigger...this one is small, like the screen of a cell phone.

This is most definitely NOT a netbook, in either sense. It has an Windows 8.1 operating system that works just fine when not connected to the internet (i.e., not a Chromebook). And unlike the netbooks that were widely available a couple of years ago, it has a substantial amount of computing power and graphics capability (my netbook wasn't able to deal with high def streaming video, this one can).

Kerry: Just curious, did you buy the Galaxy Note N7000 (Note 1) or the Galaxy Note N7100 Note 2? Both are great devices, so either way, you will be happy with either!Regards,Daisy

I have no idea about the difference.I doubt that there is much unless one has special applications. What I do know is that I hate Windows 8.I detest it. I feel,at times, like throwing my new Dell at a wall. I totally hate windows 8 like I've never hated anything else.

they are different computers. almost the same. I think one has a better processor or ram speed. you should try googling it. If I try to explain the whole thing it would take forever. remember the higher number of processor speed and ram the better. good luck

The notebooks are numbered 1-4 and 5-8 so that you can use numerous notebooks for one subject. For example, if you take notes on notebook number 1 and run out of paper you will need to move on to notebook number 2. For most people, one notebook will be sufficient for one subject. The different numbered notebooks helps you to keep track of your different school subjects. There is no differnce between any of the the notebooks except the number. Hope that helps.

The usual answer is netbooks are very picky about the memory you use for an upgrade. Try to match the make, speed for the upgrade (might have to use real Dell or maybe Kingston).

I looked this up on Tiger Direct. Tiger says this netbook supports only 1GB of RAM, which, according to them is what the unit ships with. You should probably check the specs on Acer's web site also, since I see that another responder says that it supports 2GB.
