One of the biggest pluses with netbooks is battery life. Determine the model of your netbook and the model of your laptop and go to Amazon and read the specifications on expected battery life. If you're not going to use your laptop for travel then it doesn't really matter much. HTH

I found from my research that, laptops are increasing becoming lighter, screen size smaller and still carrying the great power functions from the past. So if you going to get a netbook, you can get a laptop with more functionality for about the same price. That is one thing to consider.
