Netbook Hardware

The form factor of a netbook is smaller than that of a notebook and they are very light in weight. A typical model weighs 2 to 3 lb (about 1 Kg). Common features include a small screen (usually around 7-inches to 10-inches diagonal), wireless connectivity, but no optical disc drive, and a smaller sized keyboard (usually 80 percent to 95 percent of normal size). There is also a trend of using solid-state drives instead of traditional hard disk drives.
