THE NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS

 

Notebook computers are actually laptop computers and are more popular than laptops. They weigh just around seven pounds and can travel with you wherever you go. Smaller types of the notebook computers are sub-notebooks and some are palmtops. These computers can perform almost all the tasks as a normal computer though some of them are not as efficient as the ordinary ones.

The notebook computers have the same internal setups with almost the same mechanisms. Therefore, there are hardly any differences in their functioning. Being smaller, obviously the inner parts are smaller but are capable of utilizing enough power to give out the maximum efficiency. They consist of a keyboard within the unit and use a touch pad in place of a mouse. Of course, you can connect it with the external input devices of an ordinary computer.

These notebook computers have a general screen size of around fourteen inches and have active matrix displays, which give out clear images. The hard disks are an inch smaller than those of the desktops are. These have the provision for connecting onto the 'ports' which are in general terms the input and the output devices. Some utilize docking stations for connecting the different accessories to the main unit.

The notebook computers work with the help of rechargeable batteries, which can normally run efficiently from two to four hours. Regular replacement of the batteries is necessary for the best results.

Though these computers do not function according to the levels of the normal ones, yet you are in for a surprise as the newer versions are as efficient, if not more, as the ordinary desktop computers are.
