Lightweight Computers, You’ve never had it so good
Lightweight computers mainly fall into two categories, laptop computers and notebook computers.Lightweight computers are basically small personal computers which are designed 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.
These computers are now extremely popular from having a market share of less than 2% in 1986 of the computer market to an amazing forecast for 2009 that there will be more laptops than desltops PC’c
In the old days laptops came in two versions,firstly PC replacements which were powerful, big and cluncky with a very short battery life. These were usually owned by business users who carted them around but they didn’t mind as they usually did the job.
The second type was alot smaller but the quality was very poor.
Todays lightweight computer users are in a great situation. There has been a notable trend towards better designs such as Intels Core and Core 2 ranges, these computers will run extremely efficiently.
So, today, we are now in the enviable position of a generation of lightweight computers that will combine high performance with a brilliant battery life.
