Compare between Netbook and IPAD/IPAD2

Compare between Netbook and IPAD/IPAD2
Nowaday, IPAD is very popular product.
The iPad bring something new feature for users. It's affordable, tiny, and more than 1 million different apps can be download from Apple store .

Netbook normally have 10-inch screen, it's quite similar to IPAD. But  the resolution is lower than IPAD(1024X768).

Now I will give some detail information and hardware feature about this two product.

Actually, It is not a similar product.
. The structure of A5 dual-core process is base on ARM and it's quiet different from Intel Atom.
It means IPAD can't use Windows Operating System. But IOS is different from Apple's MacOS.
It has limitation in software. The system was close.  Many software in IPAD is different from Windows.
IPAD didn't support Flash.  When we open a multimedia website, we can't read it all.
However, IPAD has a long battery, light weight and touch screen. It is quiet different from netbook.
Someone may say it's convinent but someone will said it's hard to type words for a long time.

All in all, netbook is similar from laptop. It's a computer that have full function. 
For Ipad, I think it's not a laptop. It seems like a bigger PDA or Mobile phone with operation system.

  1. After reading your post, I think you are quite interested in computers and PC products. You have made an analysis between ipad and netbook and you have found their differences and similarities. Form my own perspective, with the development of new and advanced technology, more and more digital products will influence people’s life. It is a good thing for people to experience the advanced technology and make life better. Compared with netbook, I prefer ipad. I think ipad is not only a new product of technology revolution, but also its applications are quite useful and attractive. Ipad is better than the netbook because ipad is lighter and easier for people to carry. In addition to that, I would like to use the applications of ipad, such as facetime and various incredible applications. Nowadays, ipad is popular not only among young people, but also among middle-aged people and junior citizens. It can make people’s life better and more colorful.

  5. When I was reading your Blogpost I was already thinking about what to include in my response. Now after reading the first comment, I can say that is what your post is missing in my opinion.

    You provide nice pictures and a detailed description of the two products. What your post is missing is some content, for example personal feedback or a recommendation about the products.

    For these two products I can say that there is one major difference between them. One is a Netbook, which is basically a small laptop. And the iPad is a tablet computer. Personally I don't have any experience with iPads, but I know that a Netbook is extremely useful for students and people who travel a lot. It is a very light and small item, therefore perfect to carry around and take it with you. The downside in my opinion is for one the size of the screen, which makes it hard to watch a movie or streamed video. And secondly the specifications of the laptop, which doesn't make to run demanding applications or games.

    This post is, besides some grammatical erorrs, a nice outline or introduction into the topic. Although I would recommend two things for future posts:

    1. Structure and visual appearance. Try to use the same font and style throughout the whole post. (e.g. your desciptions are in a different style or you wrote Samsung MS310 in dark black, but not IPAD.)

    2. Main content part. Try not to just describe, but comment, analyse or present things which are either new, or present them in a new way.

    People will visit a Blog, because it is interesting in some way to them. Given that your topic is very broad and there are a lot of bloggers and experts in this area, you have to add something to a blog that attracts readers. There are too many renowned Homepages that a description of the items will not give you the edge.

    Overall I have to say that I liked the beginning and the basic idea of your Blog. What strikes me as negative is that some of your posts seem to be copied. If you quote someone or even paraphrase you have to make sure to give the author credit.

    All the best

  6. After reading your post, I have noticed some new features about ipad and netbook, especially their hardware features, and you make a comparison between them through finding some similarities and differences. From my perspective, I prefer Ipad as well for two reasons.

    Firstly of all, sometimes I am unable to see the contents in some websites; ipad can enlarge the pages easily and slid the screen conveniently. In addition to the advanced touch screen you have mentioned, the gravity induction screen of ipad overtakes the netbook in terms of ipad’s rotation function and the pictures are adjusted automatically from your vision.

    Secondly, ipad works at least 8 hours without carrying the charger while netbook equipped with four core of the battery can only work two or three hours.

    However, typing words in ipad makes me annoying, as you point out; it's hard to type words for a long time.

    Above all, I think the post is suitable for the people who are hesitating to buy an ipad or a netbook.

  7. Vis-a-vis to the netbooks, the iPad shines in fact only by its autonomy: ten hours in communication mode. They are the users of iPhone which will be happy! Obviously, it will never replace a wandering or portable computer.
    It should not be concluded from it in so far as the iPad is a netbook with the reduction.
    By using it, one realizes that Apple invented a hybrid apparatus, a kind of wandering reader of media very-intuitive, something between the smartphone and the netbook. One can read there newspapers (soon Le Monde), data bases or books digital with a comfort that up to that point no ebook had gotten (an example: the bar of run of the text makes it possible to be located of a gesture between the chapters).
    A last question however: is it necessary to spare its wallet and to buy only the initial version (approximately 500 €) or to give to the pot 130 € to acquire a compatible iPad 3G (Mobile Internet)? Let us say that the version 3G is preferable if one wants to use with full the capacities with this incredible wandering machine.
