What do you think? What is your choice? IPad? Netbook? Amazon Kindle?

After Apple announced the iPad this question start to goes around. Therefore, I am going to compare netbooks and iPad which is, i think, the bigger size of an iPhone. So, I am now going to talk about a few aspects of these two devices while comparing them. Before no more ado let’s start to compare. Netbook vs iPad???

Price

Netbooks are generally $300 to $500. iPad start with $499.

Battery Life

They are both have almost the same battery life which is 10 hours, despite netbooks have many duration, according to their battery cells.

Disk Space

iPad has three option for disk space ranging from 16GB, 32GB to 64GB. But netbooks have more than that.

Processor

iPad has A4 processor which is not a size of paper:).  However most of the netbooks features Atom Processors.

Screen

iPad has 9.7 inches screen and netbooks have generally 10.1 inches screen.

Operating System

iPad features iPhone OS 3.2 and you can have many operating systems in netbooks ranging from Microsoft’s ones to Linux ones.

USB Ports

iPad has no USB ports but netbooks generally have 3 USB ports.

Keyboard

iPad has no keyboard except a virtual touch – operated one. But i am not sure that it will be more useful. Because you can use that keyboard just when you hold the iPad horizontally.

Weight

As you know most of the netbooks are around the 1.1 kg to 1.6. But iPad is 0.63 kg and which is pretty good for it.

In conclusion, i cannot see anything that make me to choose iPad instead of a good netbook. iPad is more expensive than a regular netbook, it has lower features than netbooks and many other things. By the way, as a side note, iPad will be available two moths later.

Recently I bought a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. However before i bought it, i thought should i buy a netbook or really acquire this Nokia 5800 phone. Because as you know, you can put nearly $100 more money and buy a good netbook. But I did not and now I thinking about whether i was wrong or not. Let’s together try to make a comparison with a regular netbook and a Nokia 5800 phone.  I wanna a take Asus Eee Pc Seashell 1005PE into account as a comparison.

• Asus Eee Pc 1005He is nearly $370, Nokia 5800 is nearly $270.
• Asus has 14 hours battery life, Nokia has nearly 4 hours.
• Of course Asus netbook has bigger screen 10.1″ on the other side, Nokia has 3.2″ screen.
• You can use netbook for the use of calling but you can use Nokia a 5800. (actually, you can use a netbook as a phone thanks to Skype.)
• Asus Eee Pc weighs 1.27 kg but Nokia 5800 weighs 0.11 kg.

Actually, try to compare a netbook a phone was a little weird, but if you are willing to use a phone mostly surfing on internet or checking your mails, like me. You may be confused. As a result, taking using web browser of Nokia 5800′ difficulties while surfing on the net, i can easily say that i made a mistake by buying this Nokia 5800 but still I was thinking about changing my old cell, i relieve myself by thinking this.

So, what do you think? Please feel free to tell me what i miss and if you were me, what did you do?

Price

Although most netbook have very similar features, more and more models are starting to differentiate themselves whether in terms of price, specs or performance. The Acer Aspire One and the HP Mini are considered as budget-friendly or entry-level models (as opposed to high end models like the Toshiba Mini or the Asus 1005HA netbook). These two models are about the cheapest in the market, with the Acer model retailing at around $319 each and the HP model costing around $328 each. Winner: Acer Aspire One.

Design

While being aware that the preference of a design is very much a subjective matter, I just can’t bring myself to declare this as a draw between the Acer and the HP netbook. The Acer netbook has a much more edgier design, while the HP sports a more traditional look with rounded corners and symmetrical layout. Don’t hold this against me, but I have to say that I find the design of the Acer model much more attractive than the HP model. Winner: Acer Aspire One.

Performance

In their efforts to produce a super affordable netbook, Acer has pulled all the stops. As the result, you have a netbook with most of the basic netbook features. Unfortunately, I found it quite difficult to find a feature/performance aspect where it is better than other brands in the market. Although the HP Mini netbook fares similarly, it does have one outstanding feature. Its keyboard design is legendary in the netbook world. Many as the best in the netbook market consider the HP netbook keyboard, up to today. It feels very good to type on, unlike the cramped designs from many other brands. Other than that, both models have almost identical features and performance levels. Winner: HP Mini Netbook

Specifications

The Asus 1005HA netbook is a much better machine than the Samsung NC10 netbook. In fact, the Asus model currently has some of the best specs that any netbook can have. It has an Intel Atom N280 (1.66Ghz processor), wi-fi (802.11b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity. The Samsung model has a Intel Atom N270 processor, 802.11b/g wi-fi and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity.

Performance

Whether it is in terms of multi-tasking speed, battery lifespan or features, the Asus 1005HA netbook is once again the winner. This new Asus netbook currently have the best battery lifespan in the market, lasting up to 10.5 hours on a single charge. The Samsung also has a decent battery lifespan, with up to 8 hours of use. The Asus netbook also has a touch pad that support multi-touch gestures.

Price

This is the category that sets these both netbooks apart. Currently, the Asus sells for around $360 each while the Samsung sells for around $330. Although the NC10 is the cheaper model, the Asus 1005HA gives you much better value. The Asus model is worth much more than the $30 price difference.

On the other hand, the Samsung NC10′s biggest selling point can be found in its design. The best selling model is the blue-colored one. The blue model has a glossy external casing with a matte surface on the flip side and a black keyboard. I highly suspect that the NC10 is staying afloat on the bestseller’s list on the sole factor of design.

Although Toshiba Mini and the Acer Aspire One are currently two of the best selling netbook models in the market, I am going to put it straight out that the Toshiba Mini is a much better 10.1-inch netbook especially in terms of functionality and performance.

The Toshiba model has a 1.66Ghz processor while the Acer netbook has a 1.6Ghz processor. Besides this difference, both models have similar specs that include 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and a 6-cell battery. There is where the difference’s end.

The new Toshiba netbook has so much to offer in terms of features and many of which are not found on the Acer Aspire One. For instance, besides having a 6-cell battery, the battery on the Toshiba model can last up to 9 hours on a single charge compared to Acer’s usual 6 hours. Another unique feature is that you can also charge USB devices on the Toshiba model even when the Toshiba mini is off or on standby mode.

Another difference can be seen in the design of these two models. The Acer Aspire One comes in a variety of colors and have a glossy external casing. The Toshiba Mini too comes in a variety of colors but they have a matte external glossy that does not get smudges and fingerprints as easily. There is even a brown Toshiba netbook model. Bottom line, the Toshiba Mini has a better design as it feels more solid and has a more refined, professional look.

Today, i am going to give you a list. List of recent month’s best selling netbooks. However before i start, I wanna add something because Asus Eee Pc 1005HA is top of our list and it has claimed 4 of the top ten slots.
