What’s the difference between a netbook and a notebook?

Netbooks are designed primarily for the Internet, to view information, learn and communicate with others.
They are usually a compact form factor (around 7-10 inch screen size) and are designed for portability.
Netbooks are light-weight, have long battery life and are less dependent on a battery charger during the day. They can handle most basic office tasks like word processing and spreadsheets etc.
The usual specification for a netbooks is: Low power CPU (Intel Atom Single Core 2Gz>), 1Gb RAM, 160Gb HDD, No DVD drive.
    
On the other hand, Notebooks are more multiple-purpose computers in a form factor of about ten inches and up, with some desktop replacement notebooks boasting 24-inch screens.
Notebooks are more designed to handle heavy-multi-tasking with many applications running at once. They can view, create, and edit high-definition video content and run intensive programs.
