ultraportable: Some authors emphasize the portability of an ultraportable rather than its size. 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. 6, record 1, English, - subnotebook

[...] grâce aux progrès récents de la miniaturisation, on a aujourd'hui des ultraportables qui pèsent moins de 2 kilos à des tarifs à peu près abordables. Certes, l'écran est plus petit (autour de 12 pouces) mais c'est déjà très bien surtout si on le compare aux 4 pouces des baladeurs vidéo que l'ultraportable remplace avantageusement. 2, record 1, French, - ultraportable
