The Correct Definition of a Laptop has changed


Ya, you read it correctly, the proper definition of a Laptop has come a long way & it's incomplete now to consider them just a Laptop anymore.

Bit confused, actually today, here, I will show you a lowdown on  
Portable computer Form-Factors:-


Laptop (in general): A device that serves either as a Desktop replacement or a portable Gaming rig.
  • Characteristics: Large screen, full QWERTY keyboard
Netbook: A light-weight device mainly meant for internet on the go.
  • Characteristics:Small size, light-weight, long battery life
Notebook: A sleek device, but bulkier than a netbook, used for documents & presentations.
  • Characteristics: Sleek, large screen, full QWERTY keyboard
Smartbook: A hybrid between a notebook & a smartphone, with power-packed features.
  • Characteristics: More connectivity options, ,light-weight, long battery life

  • Characteristics: Large touchscreen, small size
UMPC: It stands for Ultra Mobile PC, which is basically a tablet with a sliding keyboard, speakers & other peripherals.
