What is the difference between a netbook and a notebook?

What is the difference between a netbook computer and a notebook computer? I am looking for a laptop mainly for music and school use, not so much gaming. Is it worth it for me to just get a netbook? Or should I get a notebook?
netbook is for simple task like working on my MS Office, play music or browsing online. so not powerful to run good graphics. it doesnt have a CD/DVD drive
Notebook is like a home computer but portable

netbooks are much smaller and lighter but less powerful they are used more for internet/email and not fore big apps like videos editing or gaming.
What you get will depend on your needs and requirments

A netbook is like a notebook, but smaller. It lacks an optical drive and typically has a much smaller hard drive than a notebook. The screen is tiny and so is the keyboard. They’re designed to be very light, and mainly used for browsing the Internet.

A netbook is a very small laptop with a screen size less than 10 inches. Some popular ones are the Asus Eee PC and the MSI wind. A notebook refers to a portable computer and does not necessary have to be tiny.
If you are using this for school, you probably do not want a netbook since the screen and keyboard are usually pretty small. It will not be much fun typing up a term paper on a netbook.

netbooks are smaller with a lot less memory to mainly access the internet, and do email…

A netbook is defined as having 10.2" screen max. Other than that the line kind of blurs between them. A netbook is for basic work; web surfing, email, play music or basic photo editing.
A notebook has a better CPU, more RAM and better graphics capabilities.

Netbooks are designed for minimal usage. If you’ll only be surfing the web, chatting, storing pictures, etc. than a netbook will be adequate. If you’re doing anything other than that, like writing papers, making movies, making slideshows, and writing programs, a notebook is the way to go.
I’d suggest getting a smaller more powerful notebook rather than a netbook. You’ll get a larger hard drive, more ram (memory), faster processor — in general just better quality components.

Netbook: only good for people on the go. the only really use is internet and email. very small, light and inexpensive compared to notebooks.
Notebook: good for email, internet, windows documents, pictures etc…. it is a laptop (portable computer) bigger, heavier compared to small netbooks. has alot more features.
