Notebook vs Laptop

The notebook or netbook (also called mini-notebook and mini-laptop) was originally designed to be a low cost, low powered alternative to laptops.

The things you will readily notice about a it is that- it is very small (some say cute) compared to a regular laptop. It does not come with a CD/DVD drive. And the screen is small; Only about 7 to 10 inches wide. But it can have a resolution of 1024x600 pixels.

1.Check emails
2.Surf the Internet
3.Listening to Music
4.Watch Online Videos

1. If you travel a lot and you always need to be connected.
2. If you are you like working in cafes or beach resorts.
3. If you want something light
4. If you want something that's not bulky

If you are doing digital graphics in Gimp, whether painting or simply drawing, it is best to use a pen tablet. Wacom is a recognized brand when it comes to pen tablets. Gimp does support it but it is not enabled by default. How to Enable Pen Tablet Support 1. Launch Gimp using your pen tablet. Don't use the mouse to launch Gimp. If you do, Gimp won't detect it. 2. In the menu click Edit>Preference. 3. On the list click "Input Devices". 4. Click "Configure Extended Input Decives". Here is where Gimp gets weird. If you started Gimp for the first time using a mouse, it will say there are no available input device.

Click "Save Input Device Settings Now" so that the pen tablet will still be supported when you launch Gimp next time.
