[[Netbooks]] are small [[laptop]]s, with screen sizes between approximately 7 and 12 inches and low power consumption. They use either an SSD ([[solid state disk]]) or a HDD ([[hard disk drive]]) for storage, have up to 2 gigabytes of RAM (but often less), lack an [[optical disk drive]], and usually have [[USB]], [[Ethernet]], [[WiFi]] and often [[Bluetooth]] connectivity. The name emphasizes their use as portable Internet appliances.
==Netbook distributions==
There are special [[Linux distribution]]s, called '''netbook distributions''', for these machines. All such distributions
