Lightweight computers will come in two categories, laptops and notebooks .Lightweight computers are a small personal computer which are best for personal use which consist of a display, a keyboard and a pointing device which is also known as a touchpad.

You will find the usual shape of a lightweight computer is similar to a large book. The screen can vary from a largest size of 17 inches down to a small size of 13 inches but obviously these sizes can vary.When the computer is shut it also acts as a protection for the screen and keyboard.

This type of laptop computer are now extremely popular. From a market share of the computer market of around 2% in 1986 it is forecast that in 2009 there will be more laptops sold than the traditional desktop PC.

Laptops used to fall into two types.The first ones were desktop replacements which were as usually powerful enough to replace a PC but they were usually large with a limited battery life.This kind of laptop were usually used by business users who were able to to do most of their work at a desk and were able to carry their computer from office to office.

Unfortunately, the luxury of having a small computer was offset by the fact that the quality and battery life was very poor.

Todays lightweight computer users find themselves in a great situation. There has been a trend towards more efficient designs such as Intels Core and Core 2 ranges, these computers will run very 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.
