Budget Laptops
Budget laptops are those developed to provide a functional portable computer at low price point. They use a wide range of processors because often they are based upon older processors that use to be found in higher end laptops or the newer low cost processors. All of the processors listed here should be able to do all the basic computing tasks including web browsing, email, word processing and presentation. They are also very capable at being used for DVD playback as well. About the only thing that value system processors will not be able to do well is gaming and high-end graphics applications.

Ultraportables

Ultraportables are systems that are designed to be as light and compact as possible yet powerful enough for most common business applications such as e-mail, word processing and presentation software. These systems are geared towards those people who travel a lot (often called road warriors) who want a system that is not very cumbersome. They are willing to sacrifice computing power and peripherals for portability.

Netbooks
Netbooks are a fairly new classification of systems. They tend to be a bit smaller than ultraportables and a lot cheaper. The reason for this is that they have limited functionality through the removal of features. The processors are generally use very little power but also tend to have limited performance. They are best suited as mobile interenet systems than as full blown laptop PCs.

Thin and Light
A thin and light laptop is one that is able to perform pretty much any computing task at least on some level. These systems can vary widely in terms of their price and performance. They tend to perform better than the counterparts in the value category or ultraportables but they are smaller and more portable than the large media centric desktop replacements.

*Desktop Replacements
Desktop replacement systems are designed to be a complete system that has the equivalent processing power and capability to a desktop system, but in a mobile package. They tend to be larger and bulkier to fit all the components to allow the system perform at almost the same level as a desktop in all aspects of computing. In general a desktop replacement will perform exceptionally well and will even be able to run 3D games. Mobile gaming is getting close to desktop performance, but the cost is much greater and still not the same as the top end desktop graphics.
