Tablets VS Netbooks...

TABLETS:

Appearance: Are sleek slim and light to carry.  They do not have a physical keyboard.  All of them have a good touch screen with glossy or matte finish.  Keep a cleaning cloth handy, as these are serious fingerprint attractors.

Locked and loaded: When it comes to fire power(processing power) at the moment they are not as powerful as net-books.  But soon they will be better.  Shortly 2 GHz processors and higher RAM will be available to these shiny machines.  Mid to high end ones are 3G ready too.

Operate me: 95 percent of the tablets run on Android OS. Rest use Windows CE or iOS.  For basic stuff and light gaming these are nice, but when it comes to multi-tasking these suffer a little.  Hopefully the new OS upgrades will solve this issue.  Microsoft is also  coming with a tablet OS.

Battery juice:  we have seen mixed results here . while most last for 6-8 hours, there are some that last just 4 hours.

Expansion:  The upgrading options even less than the netbooks. You can just expand the memory by inserting an SD card.

Pocket damages:  Some of the entry-level ones are available for half the price of netbooks. However the high-end cool ones, are double the price of the netbooks.

NETBOOKS: 

Appearence: We are quite used to the laptops, which is why most netbooks dont intrigue mush. Some of them tried to, like the Vaio P or X series, but the X-factor soon vanishes. However you do get superb display screens, many USB ports, Ethernet and video ports. And they do cme with a physical keyboard for ease of typing.

Locked and loades:  These machines are quicker than the tablets. They fetch fast 1.6 GHz processors capable enough to handle many open windows at the same time. Can run HD movies as well.

Operating me: All of them are windows based. These are reliable and have an excellent coustomer support. You have an OS problem? Microsoft will solve it..

Battery juice:  All the new generation netbooks can atleast last for 7 or higher hours. Barring a few that live for 4-5hours.

Expansion:  Only the hard drive and RAM can be upgraded. Rest cannot.

Pricing:  Entry-level netbooks linger around 15k mark, which is double the prise of entry level tablets. On the other side one can get a fully loaded laptop for 21-24 thousand rupees, while tablets 32-38 thousand rupees.
