Subnotebook
A subnotebook, also called an ultraportable by some vendors, is a laptop designed and marketed
with an emphasis on portability (small size, low weight and long battery life) that retains the
performance of a standard notebook. Subnotebooks are usually smaller and lighter than
standard laptops, weighing between 0.8 and 2 kg (2 to 5 pounds)[10]; the battery life can exceed
To achieve the size and weight reductions, ultraportables use high resolution 13" and smaller
screens (down to 6.4"), have relatively few ports, employ expensive components designed for
minimal size and best power efficiency, and utilize advanced materials and construction methods.
Some subnotebooks achieve a further portability improvement by omitting an
optical/removable media drive; in this case they may be paired with a docking station that
contains the drive and optionally more ports or an additional battery.
The term "subnotebook" is usually reserved to laptops that run general-purpose desktop
operating systems such as Windows, Linux or Mac OS X, rather than specialized software such
as Windows CE, Palm OS or Internet Tablet OS.
