Time to update.

I would like to purchase a light, small (preferably 10 inch) laptop with a larger hard drive. I want one WITHOUT an ATOM chip if possible. Is there such an laptop? My local computer storeclerk mentioned that the difference between netbook and notebook primarily is the chip they use. I think I want a notebook instead of a netbook but it has to be as small as possible.

Is my understanding of the difference correct?
