netbook
Lightweight portable computer
A netbook is a small, lightweight laptop designed primarily for web browsing and basic tasks.
Popular in the late 2000s before tablets became widespread, netbooks sacrificed processing power and screen size for portability and low cost: I bought a cheap netbook just for checking email on trips.
The category has largely disappeared from the market.
