This portable computer device much at all of that stuff. Such as a laptop, notebook, netbook, ultrabook, macbook, chromebook and so on. Portable computer devices isnot the same, they have a purpose and features of each. And that is certainly the goal of created this gadget is the need for a portable computing device, which could be brought to where.

Laptop

Portable computer device generally termed with the laptop. In the language of the Laptop means "above the fold" and laptop computer computer devices means that its size is small enough so that it can be placed on our lap. Desktop means "on the table" and the computer desktop computer devices which means because of their large size then put on the table.

The laptop comes to replace the functionality of a desktop computer with the excess can be carried everywhere, aka portable. In other words, the laptop is a portable form of the desktop computer. And the features that are offered are also nearly equaldesktop computer or PC (Personal Computer).

Now the use of laptops is rare. People prefer to call it the Notebook. The produsennyapun prefer to use the term Notebook than a laptop.

Formerly perbedaam between Notebook and Laptop can still be seen. The notebook has a size that is smaller than a laptop and features offered are also less than a laptop. But now perhaps we can no longer tell which laptop where the Notebook. Anysize and ability is almost the same. Live producers only want to call its products, laptop or Notebook.

Notebook

The notebook was originally designed as the name suggests, the Notebook, the notebook. As a record book that handily put in bags and taken to everywhere. Not onlyportable, but more to mobile devices. But now the Notebook not only more portable than laptops but also its almost match the desktop computer.

Physically the Notebook weighs about 5 kg with battery hold up to 4 – 5 hours without the aid of electricity from outside sources and previous batteri in cas is full. Has a display with a size of about 12 – 15 inches and supports high resolution display screen. There is a touchpad that replaces the mouse.

With a variety of external connection terminal like some USB ports, HDMI, VGA. There is also a CD Drive that can be DVD or even Blu-Ray-capable CD read/write (read/write). Equipped with a Bluetooth wireless connection capabilities and Wifi. Latest Notebook types even have the ability to process graphics and suited to play games.

NetBook

NetBook in the design for the use of basic computing, smaller and lighter and more portable than notebooks. In addition as the name implies, the Netbook is intendedalso to be able to browse the internet anywhere is therefore trust in Netbook equipped with wi-fi connection.

Physically, the Netbook has a weight of about 1-2 kg, smaller screen size between 9– 10 inches. Because of its small size, the Netbook does not usually comes with a CDDrive. A more limited processor capabilities and is not able to render the graphics. Low resolution screen and only suited to do the job. With so many limitations on this netbook, harganyapun cheaper. The NetBook is more popular among older schoolgirls or students. But netbooks become less popular since the advent of the iPad andtablet.

Ultrabook

This time appeared a new series of laptop also known by the term Ultrabook. This term was first introduced by Intel for laptops are lightweight and thin but has a high performance. Ultrabook is considered as a response to the Macbook Air released byApple. Furthermore the term Ultrabook also followed by other producers. In other words, Ultrabook is a kind of artificial Intel Macbook Air.

Ultrabook is a lightweight portable computer devices and thin like a netbook but have the capability of computing equivalent of the notebook. In design excellence netbook notebook at once. Therefore harganyapun is very high. Moreover, to meet the demands of this Ultrabook use of SSD (Solid State Drive) which has the advantage of faster, more reliable and better performance than the HDD (Hard Disk Drive).

General Ultrabook has a weight of about 1.5 kg, less than 2 cm thick with a screen size of between 11-15 inches. Due to the thin and ringannya this Ultrabook was not completed by a CD Drive. Suitable for task computing in General and those games will light but feels the weight of running 3D games.

Chromebook

Chromebook is a portable device that computers use Google Chrome as its operating system. The purpose of this is to bring the Chromebook diciptakanya devices portable computers are cheap because no longer use Windows as the operating system.

Chromebook designed works by utilizing internet connection because most applications and data stored on the internet (in the clouds, "the cloud"). And Google provides storage capacity on the internet (cloud) of each 100 GB for each Chromebook.

Although Chromebook works by utilizing the internet, does not mean the Chromebook can't work if there is no internet network. Google also provides software that can be used when offline and will soon be synchronized and stored in "cloud" (Googledrives) when already connected back to a network the internet.

Macbook Air

Like diuraukan above, the Macbook Air is another form of Ultrabook. The difference between Ultrabook first created by Intel and use Windows as the system oprasinya(OS) while the Macbook Air was invented by Apple and using MacOS as the systemoperations. Unlike Ultrabook which are produced by a variety of manufacturers of computer, the Macbook Air is only produced by Apple Computer.

Physically heavy and its thickness is almost the same as Ultrabook. So too with the capabilities and features that could be said to be almost identical with Ultrabook.
