Power.
They are called Netbooks in that their primary function is to surf the net.
You can usually run Office, and simple stuff, but they would not be
suitable for some games and Video processing.
They do not have a CD/DVD, and you must use an external.
They have limited memory (If expandable usually max out at 2GB) and
may or may not have a physical harddrive (Some have Solid State Drives)
Unless they come with the larger battery 2-3 hours tops on battery.
Just a simple explanation although probably not complete.

I see some Netbooks at CompUSA for as little as $239, making it much more
affordable. What do Netbooks typically lack that Notebooks have?
