随着笔记本电脑行业技术的不断提高，以及第二代SandyBridge处理器的面市，如今8～12英寸屏幕的笔记本电脑已经趋于简单型笔记本电脑那样，正在趋于价格、性能与携带方便的均衡。超薄笔记本电脑其内部配置，不论是从处理器、内存到硬盘等主要配件，在性能方面绝不输于那些体型较大的笔记本电脑。当然，要说到差异也并不是没有的，最明显的就是一般超薄型笔记本电脑由于体积、散热、内存等原因，一般不会使用高端配置，另外电池的体积也在一定程度上决定了性能与续航时间的关系。
With
the continuous improvement of technology in the laptop industry and the
launch of the second-generation SandyBridge processor, today's 8-12
inch screen laptops have become similar to simple laptops, and are
moving towards a balance of price, performance, and portability. The
internal configuration of ultra-thin laptops, from processors, memory to
hard drives and other major accessories, is by no means inferior to
those of larger laptops in terms of performance. Of course, when it
comes to differences, the most obvious one is that generally ultra-thin
laptops do not use high-end configurations due to factors such as size,
heat dissipation, and memory. In addition, the size of the battery also
determines the relationship between performance and battery life to a
certain extent.
轻薄的上网本一般不使用内置光驱。无线局域网（WLAN）、蓝牙等功能早已普及，尺寸同样轻巧。不过，高配置不是没有代价的，这样高配置的超薄型笔记本电脑其价格就不见得和蔼可亲。
Thin
and lightweight netbooks generally do not use a built-in optical drive.
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Bluetooth and other features have
long been popular, and the size is also lightweight. However, high
configuration is not without cost, and the price of ultra-thin laptops
with high configuration may not be amiable.
