subject: Tablet Or Netbook: Which One Is Good? [print this page] Hey, last week I was in the San Francisco, attending a technical conference, lots of chaos was generated trying to make the balloon warmer and higher, apple has introduced its new tablet into the market, questions were raised will this make the netbook market to a downfall? Which one is better netbook or a tablet? Then, I researched on this topic and came to a conclusion which I am going to discuss with you in this article.
Netbook is the compact version of laptop. It has lesser power consumption than a laptop whereas a tablet is just a touch screen. Here, keyboard, mouse etc. are clearly not required. Normally it depends on the usage of customer, if you are creative go for netbook otherwise tablet will be the right choice. If you are just requiring a multimedia and browsing device with minimal hacking power and zero development tools but immense portability then tablet. And, if you need the device for development, hacking, learning apart from just multimedia and browsing then go for a netbook. Tablet OS is not as powerful as netbook OS.
Below discussed few points which will clearly elaborate the difference between them, which are as follows,
Operating system: The Netbook computer uses Windows or Linux Operating System whereas the Tablet one uses iPhone OS or Android Operating System.
