'''Netbook''', the word made by [[Intel]] company in February 2008, means smaller version of a regular [[laptop]]. Netbooks are known for being small and easy to move around. It is a kind of [[computer]] that does basic jobs like [[web surfing]] and word processing. Netbook device is normally built for [[CPU]] that uses lower power, like the [[Intel]] Atom. Now there are many netbooks such as [[hp]]-mini and Asus Eee PC. More than 50 million netbooks will be released by 2011. == History == The concept of netbook is originated from [[subnotebooks]].
