Sub-notebook

Sponsor with the world's largest charity for orphans
Sub-notebook is an ambiguous term for some kind of laptop computer that is smaller than a notebook, usually smaller than a DIN A4 Page of Paper. It could be either a common laptop or something more like a personal digital assistant.

Computers larger than PDAs but smaller than notebooks are also sometimes called "Palmtops".
