Notebook does not have space for built-in optical or floppy-disk drives, but instead provides communication ports so that an external drive can be connected, so usually it's lighter. While a netbook is almost similar to notebook, except that the screen and keyboard are smaller in size, and the general configuration is more for normal usage and internet surfing, not for hardcore gaming purpose.

If you are sick of using window base mobile computer, then apple Mac book pro will be a choice you can consider, and don't have to spend extra money to buy anti-virus software. Besides you can easily switch to window software so long as you purchase it

if you still prefer window base mobile computer, and you are loaded, fujitsu is recommended as it's probably the only left manufactured in Japan and it's a very reliable product that can last you for five years...mine that i'm using now has been with me for 4 years plus...

for system configuration, they comes with the few standard item, namely CPU, RAM, Hard disk drive, graphic card, communication ports,Read/Write drive, etc...

For CPU:
current is between intel 'i5' & 'i7' and varies from 1.5GHZ to 3.1GHZ
so if you are a gaming person, higher speed is recommended.

For RAM, just go with the higher one, that is 8GB DDR3 1333MHZ

Hard disk now is SATA HDD, usually 500GB or 640GB capacity, depends on yr preference

Read/Write drive nowadays is usually dual layer super multi writer...quite standard

graphic card wise can be NVIDIA geforce/ NVS or INTEL HD graphics, so if gaming purpose may require a good graphic card

communication ports, try to get with at least 4 USB port, and with HDMI, COMM port for projecter (for work purpose)

Having to say that, usually the mobile computer can last long except for the LCD monitor that die faster than any of the hardware part, so depends on your luck

Err my mind almost went blank as I read further down...

Okay I am actually keen in a Mac, but they only have the notebook not a laptop right?

Can I say a netbook is like Ipad? By CPU you are referring to those desktop computers right? Nah I need a portable to carry around. I don't actually play games except some online ones, and I watch animes and movies and other visuals, so is a graphic card still relevant?
