A notebook is a type of portable personal computer, and is smaller than a desktop, although more expensive. Notebooks, when closed, protect the components such as pointing device, screen, and keyboard. Notebooks are comparable in computing power to desktops. A tablet includes a touch-sensitive screen, on which you can write or draw to provide handwritten input. Most also accept voice input. These are best for people who do their work while on the go, such as real estate agents or healthcare workers. A netbook is a more portable notebook. They are scaled-down notebooks, and weigh much less.
