i am thinking of buying a computer and i am just wondering what the difference is between them. it will not be used for games really. it will be used to access the internet and maintain the a website that i am trying to build right now. maybe right a couple of papers playing videos and music and burning cd's and dvd's.
The difference: Nothing at all! This is identifying the SAME object with two different words. For example, a pencil could be a pencil or a writing utensil: same thing!
And for just general web-surfing and cd-burning, may I suggest purchasing a netbook? They are ultra-transportable, have a long battery life with 6 cell battery, and are lightening fast! Just make sure that the one you are looking at has a CD/DVD drive...
Best of luck,
