netbook
(redirected from netbook computer)

     0.01 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.

Laptop and Netbook
The Acer netbook on the right sports an 8.9" screen compared to its 15" big brother. Suited for light computing tasks, netbooks sacrifice keyboard and screen size for portability.
