Netbooks
Netbooks describe a category of low-cost and scaled-down subnotebooks used primarily for surfing the Internet and performing other basic functions like word processing. These may be carried out using applications installed on a solid state drive or by the use of cloud computing services. Similarly, Nettops are for similar low-cost desktop devices. Both Netbook and Nettop device platforms are normally built around low power CPUs like the Intel Atom, the VIA C7 or the AMD Geode. - Netbook Nettop
