It used to be that laptops were considered the ultimate in portable computing, but that didn't last long. Two more entities, namely the netbook and the tablet, came soon, one after the other, and redefined the word laptop.
While netbooks, as the name suggests, were invented with the sole purpose of browsing the internet, tablets were meant to take computing to the next level, i.e. the touch level. Tablets do not even have a physical keyboard; all they have is a big touch screen. Tablets are so advanced that they do not even need a stylus, you can simply let your fingers do the talking, or in this case, computing!
Many netbooks also feature touch screens, so it's a bit confusing for beginners to distinguish between netbooks and tablets. Let's put it this way: a netbook has a physical keyboard, while a tablet does not. The most famous tablet as of now is the Apple iPad, and rare is the person who has not heard or seen a picture of it. However, putting the differences between the two aside, you have to remember that the basic thing that makes them both work is the power supply and the laptop battery.
Both netbooks and tablets have batteries in them, and while netbooks have detachable batteries, tablets don't. Their laptop batteries are built in, and cannot be removed easily. Nor is it recommended to try to remove the battery of a tablet. Use the AC adapter that came with the tablet or netbook to charge it and make sure you don't over charge or undercharge. An AC adapter to act as a medium that transmits power from the outlet to the device.
Batteries are very delicate devices, and proper care has to be taken with them. If needed, you can buy a universal netbook adapter, like the ones offered by Duracell and Belkin. They are priced reasonably, and do not consume loads of power. The advantage of using a universal AC adapter is that it supports literally every netbook available on the planet, and thus will be a great thing to have if friends or colleagues want to charge and don't have an adaptor. Also, if you have multiple devices, a universal netbook adapter might be a good choice.
More often than not, AC adapters have been criticized heavily, mainly because of the bulk and weight that they have. When the whole purpose of inventing the tablet and the netbook was to make computing ultra-portable, it makes no sense if the adapter itself is a bulky device, thus spoiling the image. So companies are now working on ways to reduce the size and weight of the adapters, and make the tablet and netbook lighter and more protable. Don't be surprised when the day comes when you can carry your tablet, earphones and the battery charger adapter, all in your pockets, because it is not far away! In fact, you can do it now.
