Weegy: Notebooks are only the tip of the mobile computing iceberg, and the market is quite confusing for anyone who's looking for a portable PC. [ Besides all the different notebook form factors ? desktop replacement, ultraportable and so on ? there's the increasingly popular netbook category to consider. And as if that isn't enough, you also have to consider tablets and the new smartbook category.
NB: Smartbook is a registered trademark of Smartbook AG in Germany, but here we are using smartbook as a generic term for a device which falls between smartphone and netbook.
So which platform is right for you? Are you struggling with iPad vs netbook, or laptop vs netbook?
We've put together a breakdown of each mobile computing platform, highlighting the benefits and deficits of each, so you can decide which platform is best for you.
The best notebook or best laptop for you
The notebook, or laptop, is the most widely recognised and understood mobile computing device available. Although there are several categories of notebook, they all share distinct similarities, often pertaining to the hardware platform that drives them.
The vast majority of notebooks are based on Intel technology, but systems based on AMD hardware are also available at the lower end of the market. Intel has pretty much dominated the notebook market since it launched the Centrino platform back in 2003.
Not only did Centrino provide notebook manufacturers with a great mobile computing platform to build on, it also made Wi-Fi the de facto feature that it is today.
There are basically three categories of notebook ? desktop replacement, ultraportable and, well, general use notebook. The desktop replacement is, as the name suggests, an alternative to a desktop computer. ]
