With tablets come touchscreen keyboards, unless of course you purchase an external keyboard. Some people have trouble working on a touchscreen keyboard and therefore would much prefer a netbook. Netbooks really do provide the functions that laptops do except they are much more mobile. Those who prefer to use a personal computer may consider a netbook to be quite comparable. However, many find tablets to be too small to do more than web browsing. Tablets are great for those who want to watch a video, possibly read an e-book, check email and browse the internet. Before deciding whether a netbook or table computer is the best choice for you, it is important for both electronic devices be considered. They each have their pros and cons, but the deciding factor will be what you will be using the device for.
