Subnotebook

A subnotebook is a type of laptop computer but it is smaller than a regular laptop. It is also lighter and has fewer features than a regular laptop. Subnotebooks are also sometimes called netbooks or ultraportable laptops. They usually have smaller screens, fewer ports (for connecting devices to the laptop), and less storage space than regular laptops, but they are still powerful enough for everyday tasks like web browsing, watching movies, and working on documents. Subnotebooks are often used by people who need a laptop that is portable and easy to take with them on trips and to take with them to and from school or work.
