[[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 arepurport (supposedly)to be optimized for use with small, low-resolution displays. They tend to include a broad mix of [[VOIP]] and web-focused tools, including proprietary applications rarely seen installed by default by mainstream desktop distributions{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}}. For instance, [[Nokia]] [[Maemo]] and Asus' customized [[Xandros]] both ship with [[Skype]] and [[Adobe Flash]] installed, and Ubuntu's Netbook Edition offers the option to do the same tofor OEMs.<ref>[http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook Ubuntu 10.4 UNE]</ref>
