Available types of laptops and notebook computers on the market
You could group all laptop computers in 4 main categories:
Each category has it’s added value and if you think about it it is not a standardized grouping, it is more of a grouping based on usage and size.
Ultralight laptops
These laptops are very small, they usually fit business travelers who don’t need heavy weighted computers to carry around. All they need they can find in their ultralighted laptop computer.
Well, if you want an ultralight computer, you should be aware that you probably will have a small display and also probably no internal CD/DVD because of space constraints.
But hey, you have a small package for the road, you take all your information you need in a small , ultralighted laptop computer. And if you need external accessories, you pack them with your mobile computer.

Notebooks
Well, notebooks are very close to regular laptops. However, notebooks are smaller than regular laptop computers but heavier than ultralighted laptops.
Notebooks may have a lateral opening where you can plug devices such as floppy or DVD/CD drives. This way you get the power you need. You need a CD – plug it! You need a DVD – plug it!
But if you need a larger screen, well, think about the next step: regular laptop computers!

Standard, regular laptops
These are the most popular and most used mobile computers around. They come in six to eight pounds units, are large enough to do all the standard task of a computer, and at the same time they are a friend on the road.

Big laptops and …really big laptops
Big means big period! 17 inches screen qualify these laptops for this title, right? Up to 10 pounds, these laptops make your back hurt!
But if you need extra space on your laptop screen, then you’ve got yourself a mobile machine that is made for this!
Just be careful with the price, cause the fact that these laptops are new on the market, they have also a higher price.
