Laptop or Netbook?
I am considering getting a 'laptop', but am confused with laptop, netbook,
i-pad, i-pod etc etc. Has anyone a suggestion on how to unravel this techno stuff, and what are the disadvantages of a netbook?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I-pad = Tablet, no keyboard at all, no CD drive doesn't run wndows so you can't run all your normal windows software. designed to be used for a bit of browsing while slouching about on the sofa.
I-pod = a music player.

Chuck's answer is comprehensive. Personally I find a netbook screen too small for comfort, but otherwise it's an excellent, low-powered machine. Not sure about gaming, though, as I've never indulged but would imagine it's not powerful enough. Provided it comes with MS Office starter then you'll be OK for the other needs (if it doesn't, then download OpenOffice or similar - it's free). Beautifully light and portable if you need to carry it around. Check out the anticipated battery life, though.
