Laptops are "little desktops" where you can bring to the airport,mall,cafe,etc. and Netbooks are designed for browsing. Although that laptops are much more powerful for netbooks, but the big diff in here is laptops are used to do your work and netbooks are used to browse the internet(open facebook,twitter,amazon,etc)
Netbooks are cheaper than laptops because the tech specs are also very different.

Netbooks are tiny laptops designed primarily for internet browsing.

They are less powerful than laptops.

Laptops are full sized and are fully functional in every way (includes 10"+ screen, cd drive, ethernet port, etc). Netbooks are smaller and hardware-wise less equipped. Also, their processing power is greatly decreased (in effort to increase their battery power and decrease heat output). Netbooks are good for basic tasks only (web browsing, word editing, email, IM, etc). Usually, they don’t have all the bells and whistles, but are great because they are small and have very good battery life.
