Based on these factors, portable computer systems are differentiated as:-
Laptops or Notebook Computers – Laptops are PCs which are the most efficient of all portable computers. They have all the basic features of a desktop system. But the difference lies in the fact that all the hardware parts are very light and integrated. But in spite of their efficiency they have not overtaken the market entirely because their internal parts cannot be easily updated.
Sub Notebook Computers – These are almost the same as Notebook computers but they are a little smaller in size and also lighter than the notebook computers.
Palm Tops – These are portable PCs which are of the size of a your palms. Unlike the laptop computers, they have a very small memory which can at the most be used for storing phone numbers, addresses, pictures and such other small data .They are incapable of running CD and floppy.
