There are a number of differences between a laptop computer, and a netbook computer. Simply put a laptop is a full featured computer, while a netbook is a smaller version that has limited capability in comparison to a laptop.
A netbook is intended to be used to primarily browse the web, and run programs that don't demand a lot of resources. There is no optical drive on a netbook, they generally have a slower processor, they have less RAM, they have less storage capacity, and they are significantly smaller than a typical laptop.
This is not to say that they are inferior in anyway. They are just not intended to be a full featured computer, and if all you need a computer for is to browse the web and the occasional simple program they work great!
Hope this helps!
