What should i buy a netbook or a notebook computer?

Q. Please help me to choose, bet. Buying a netbook or a notebook computer. Which one is best to buy?

A. A net book is for simple use. It has no DVD/CD drive, less memory, storage and usually a dummied down OS or an ancient one like XP.

Laptop/notebooks are much better. You can do almost anything but heavy gaming on a laptop. They have DVD/CDs, more memory and a modern OS like Windows 7.

Is it Possible To Play a downloaded version of Spore On a Notebook Computer?

Q. Well I was bummed out when I found out that a notebook computer can't play discs, but my favorite game Spore has a downloadable version on Amazon. The thing is a notebook computer has a small screen(and might have a significantly smaller CPU or RAM, but i'm not worried about those factors). I'm just making sure that I don't waste 20$. My computer is a Windows 7 Starter.

A. To play Spore check you have minimum this config in your netbook and also download the Win7 version. or change the OS to Win XP or Vista.
