Laptop vs Netbook
Pink laptop or pink netbook? You should first understand the difference between them. Netbook are meant for general computing tasks such as email checking, web surfing, and document processing only. You can listen to music or watch standard definition video on a netbook, but don't expect it to play high definition (1080p) videos or first shooter games which require lots of processing power and resources. You need a standard laptop for those purposes. So 2 things to keep in mind:

1. Netbooks are less powerful than laptops but has sufficient power for general computing tasks. They are smaller, highly portable, and cheaper than a laptop.

2. Laptops have more processing power, capable of doing tasks like gaming and playing high-def videos which netbooks are not capable of doing. It's bigger in size and more expensive than a netbook.
