The usual shape of a lightweight computer is the same of a large notebook with displays ranging from 13 inches to 17 inches plus but the latest lightweight computers have display screens as small as 7 inches.Most of this type of computer were designed so when the computer is closed it protects both the screen and the 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.

The second type was alot smaller but the quality was very poor.

Luckily, for todays lightweight computer users there has been a trend to move towards far more efficient processor designs like Intels Core and Core 2 ranges, this type of computer will run far more quickly and efficiently and the old clod hoppers.
