Lightweight computers will come in two categories, laptops and notebooks .Lightweight computers are a small personal computer which are best for personal use which consist of a display, a keyboard and a pointing device which is also known as a touchpad.
The usual size of a lightweight computer is roughly the same size of a large notebook with display screens varying between 13 inches and 17 inches or even bigger but the newest lightweight computers have screens as small as 7 inches.Most of these kind of computer were made so when the computer is shut it protects the screen and the keyboard.
This type of laptop computer are now extremely popular. From a market share of the computer market of around 2% in 1986 it is forecast that in 2009 there will be more laptops sold than the traditional desktop PC.
Laptops used to fall into two types.The first ones were desktop replacements which were as usually powerful enough to replace a PC but they were usually large with a limited battery life.This kind of laptop were usually used by business users who were able to to do most of their work at a desk and were able to carry their computer from office to office.
The second type was alot smaller but the quality was very poor.
Luckily, for todays lightweight computer users there has been a trend to move towards far more efficient processor designs like Intels Core and Core 2 ranges, this type of computer will run far more quickly and efficiently and the old clod hoppers.
So, today, we are now in the enviable position of a generation of lightweight computers that will combine high performance with a generous battery life. - 16039
