But after the ultrabooks' introduction, there were people who started asking if netbooks are actually still needed and wanted by enough people. In the following lines, we will quickly compare ultrabooks and netbooks and we will try to find reasons for buying or passing one or the other.
So read the rest of our ultrabook vs netbook post to see which of these two types of computers fit best in different situations.
Why get an ultrabook
If you are thinking of buying a netbook or ultrabook at the moment, you probably have come up with a lot of reasons for going with the former. Firstly, it is pretty clear that in terms of performance netbooks don't stand a chance in front of snappy ultrabooks.
Ultrabooks come with Intel Core i5 or i7 processor and 2 or 4 GB of RAM, as well as SSDs, while netbooks feature lower end Atom or AMD Fusion chipsets with 512 MB or 1 GB of memory and regular hard drives.
Aside from that, while they sport bigger displays, ultrabooks are pretty much at least as light and portable as mini laptops. They are also consistently thinner and the screens are not only larger, but better in terms of resolution and image quality as well.
