Hello,
I was wondering whether anybody would be able to help me get something sorted in my head?
I am looking to buy a new PC that is lightweight, able to play films and play some games (pretty much just Football Manager and maybe one or two more). Because I want it to be easily transportable I thought about getting a tablet or notebook but after going to look at them I saw that these dont have disk drives. I know you can buy external drives (and I wouldnt mind needing to do this and using it when needed) but would a tablet/notebook be capable of playing DVDs and games?
Are tablets and notebooks basically just oversized smartphones or can they actually do anything? Looking at iPads (not really because I ever thought of getting one) they basically just seem to be able to a) go on the internet b) run a few aps. Is this right or can they do more?
Also should I be distinguishing between notbooks and tablets? My understanding was basically that you have
-desktops for home use
-semiportable laptops which are still quite large but pretty much as good as PCs
-notebooks which look like laptops but smaller but dont actually do much apart from typing and access to the internet
-tablets which are notebooks without a lid
Is this correct?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Sorry for being an idiot
Cheers
