netbook
(redirected from Psion Netbook)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.
netbook
A subnotebook computer in the $200 to $400 U.S. dollar range (as of 2010). Very convenient on trips for e-mail and general Web surfing, netbooks have screens in the 8"-10" range but are not suited for intensive tasks such as editing video and large images. The term was coined by Intel in 2008 for machines that use its Atom microprocessor. Netbooks first took off in Europe but became popular in the U.S. and elsewhere. For categories of portables, see laptop. See subnotebook, Atom and Ultra-Mobile PC.

Netbooks as a product category are only about two years old, emerging in late 2007, though some contend that netbooks first came into existence in 1999 with the Psion netBook, a device that never caught on.
