Netbooks
Definition A **netbook** is a small portable [|laptop computer] designed for wireless communication and access to the Internet.[|[1]] Primarily designed for [|web browsing] and [|e-mailing], netbooks rely heavily on the Internet for remote access to [|web-based applications][|[2]] and are targeted increasingly at [|cloud computing] users who require a less powerful [|client computer].[|[3]] Netbooks typically run either [|Windows XP] or [|Linux] operating systems[|[2]] rather than more resource-intensive operating systems like [|Windows Vista].[|[4]][|[5]] The devices range in size from below 5 inches[|[6]] to over 13,[|[7]] typically weigh 2 to 3 pounds (~1 kg) and are often significantly cheaper than general purpose [|laptops] at US$ 400,[|[2]] with some even in the US$ 50–100 range.[|[8]] According to [|Deloitte], as of the start of 2009, the established definition of a netbook was a notebook computer with a low-powered x86-compatible processor (compatible with PC standard software), small screen (no larger than 10 inches), (usually) small keyboard, equipped with wireless connectivity, lightweight (under three pounds/1.3 kilograms) and no optical disk drive. Netbooks are typically low cost, relative to other notebooks.[|[9]]
