netbooks
Small portable computers
Netbooks were small, inexpensive laptop computers popular in the late 2000s, designed primarily for web browsing and basic tasks.
They typically had screens under 12 inches, limited processing power, and minimal storage.
I bought a netbook for travel since I only needed email and internet.
Netbooks were largely displaced by tablets and ultrabooks by the mid-2010s.
