Netbook or tablet? - GoFuckYourself.com

Klen · 07-16-2014, 06:53 AM

If you would pick between these two,what you will take?It seems having one of these two is convenient to have during travel like when you are in bus.Which of these two devices have longer battery life?I used too have hp netbook but it exploded and i paid it like 600$ which is why i hesitate to buy new one but maybe tablet would be better solution.

They dont ?What happened with them?Basically they were a smaller version of laptops.

MiamiBoyz · 07-16-2014, 08:30 AM

You kidding right? Troll much -

Netbooks were small useless underpowered laptops with uselessly small screens and keyboards.

Ummm, get a tablets. Don't you watch tv?

but you can't do a lot of REAL webmaster work on a tablet. I wouldn't use either while traveling. I'd buy a 14" or 15.4" cheap but workable laptop. Yes you can do a lot more with today's tablets but unless you spend a grand or more on one you won't be able to run your websites with one.

I use my tablet all day long but it's to check stats and emails while I'm away from my desk

Scott McD · 07-16-2014, 09:09 AM

In my experience, Netbooks have been pretty shitty...

Theo · 07-16-2014, 09:10 AM

Tablet, i never liked notebooks, you may as well carry a small macbook air

I do not,i used netbook for 6 weeks for regular work,and i didn't had need to change it till it exploded.
Dont know what to take next,hence this thread.

Yeah maybe that would be a solution,or maybe a 13 inches laptop,should fit to bus.I actually wish how i bought such laptop instead that exploding netbook.

Rochard · 07-16-2014, 09:22 AM

I have a Microsoft Surface. It's the greatest thing ever. It's a large tablet or a small laptop.

I know everyone hates Windows 8, but you understand it when you have a Surface - I can instantly flip from tablet to PC. I use it to read books or surf FB and news here at home, listen to music while I work in the garage or shower, watch movies on the plane, and it's a full PC for on the road.

SBJ · 07-16-2014, 09:24 AM

a quick search at tiger direct and I found THIS ONE for $369 Lenovo S415 Touch AMD E1 4GB Memory 500GB HDD 14.0" Notebook Windows 8.1 64-bit.

danevans · 07-16-2014, 09:26 AM

get a tablet, and get something like this along with it
http://www.dx.com/p/detachable-59-ke...9#.U8aplpXlpjE

I have a nexus7 and (as a tablet) I love it, not sure if it would be enough as a laptop replacement though.. maybe go for a galaxy tab 10, larger screen..

wait when you say "travel" I thought you meant vacation, but do you just mean traveling to work in a bus?

For a vacation I'd never leave home without some sort of laptop but on a bus to work I'd much rather use a android tablet.

seeandsee · 07-16-2014, 10:51 AM

go with fablet! you will have gprs access and make calls for price of tablet!

mineistaken · 07-16-2014, 10:56 AM

Just netbook. Or even better 13 inch ultrabook.
Tablets are joke, for play only. And maybe emails.

Yes traveling in bus,sitting on fence,in hotel,etc...I suppose for that i could buy some cheap shit which cost no more then 100$.

Ah well for traveling i think most important thing would be duration of battery,tho dont know how win at that department.

shake · 07-16-2014, 11:09 AM

I bring my Macbook air, but there are some great Windows ultrabooks now too if you prefer windows. For serious work you need a real keyboard.

mineistaken · 07-16-2014, 11:11 AM

Tablet should be considered only if you do not have smartphone, otherwise it is not practical to have 2 identical devices, just one being with bigger screen.

CPA-Rush · 07-16-2014, 11:11 AM

if u are travelling ... get tablet much better than smartphone in my opinion

netbook's r great, i browse gfy with hp netbook running on one of debian distros

exactly. netbook or ultrabook all the way.

forget about touch screens..it will f up your brain and senses ;-)

SmutGiant · 07-16-2014, 02:20 PM

PC for production, tablet for consumption.

candyflip · 07-16-2014, 02:22 PM

I just grabbed a 2 year old 11'' Macbook Air off of Craigslist for $300. Didn't want or need it, but couldn't pass it up at that price.

Kick ass little machine for what I paid for it. Don't think I'd pay close to $1000 for it.

WDF · 07-16-2014, 02:33 PM

It depends on what type of work you intend to do with it.

My choice would be a tablet over a notebook.

I use a tablet to remote into several PCs here when I am not at my desk. Server control, email, scheduling, etc.

The tablet does not need to be expensive and can be android.

If you want to give it a try buy a cheap 1 from a site like Tmart.com and see if it suits your needs. A $40 to $60 tablet should be an good indication if this is for you or not. If it does not meet your needs you spend very little and it makes a great give away item or gift.

fuzebox · 07-16-2014, 02:45 PM

I'm migrating to a galaxy 10.1 tablet for short trips. With bluetooth mouse and keyboard it's decent for most the work I do while travelling.

That was going to be my next purchase. I have a couple of XPS 13's I travel with, but moving forward I am using a tablet for short trips and an XPS 15 for longer trips.

Chosen · 07-16-2014, 11:10 PM

I would prefer netbook, however battery life usually longer on tablets.

mchol · 07-16-2014, 11:11 PM

None of them!

SomeCreep · 07-17-2014, 12:26 AM

iPad.....

MPGdevil · 07-17-2014, 01:11 AM

Surface Pro 3, probably the best tabtop or laplet you can get.

AmeliaG · 07-17-2014, 03:23 AM

I have an iPad for downtime or reading magazines. I'm on level 400 and something in Candy Crush and it's great for that. it is not even great for sending email, much less more technical productivity though.

I'm thinking about getting a Surface 3. Interesting to read folks' opinions on it I this thread.

crockett · 07-17-2014, 12:33 PM

Tablets are awesome for traveling or just lounging around and having something you can hold easily. Laptop if you need something mobile to also work with.

Klen · 07-18-2014, 04:05 PM

Anyway i think i will go with catterpillar smartphone.

armysmoke · 07-18-2014, 04:46 PM

Get a Mac Air if you want something light for traveling. Netbooks are extremely under powered and its hard to type anything long with a tablet.

Just my

The Porn Nerd · 07-18-2014, 05:19 PM

I always buy a cheap-o Windows laptop before I travel for any length of time and I just went to Radio Shack and picked up a laptop for $285 on sale.

Works great. Windows 8 YUCK but works fucking great. Go cheap. LOL

John HostiServer · 07-29-2014, 05:32 AM

If you need to type continously, I suggest a keyboard, so go with a netbook.

Sid70 · 07-29-2014, 06:25 AM

Macbook air or Acer.

tremens · 07-29-2014, 06:28 AM

That's it... Macbook Air if you want to do any serious work.. but for a bus ride, a table is more convenient. Think about the space where you are sitting!

L-Pink · 07-29-2014, 06:28 AM

I just bought a ipad air, didn't like it at all and exchanged it 2 days later toward a 13" macpro.

I carry a fully charged spare. More weight to lug around maybe but you have double the battery time for transoceanic air flights. Charging plug-ins have limited availability on air flights.
