English

Subject field(s)
  • Computers and Calculators

A portable computer that is smaller than a notebook computer.

However, advances in mobile computing technology have resulted in much smaller and lighter components, such that there is no longer a meaningful difference between computers of different weight classes. Differences in naming often result from manufacturer preference and marketing rather than from technical differences between products.
