Source: APC Mag Archive.org version
We’ve been hearing plenty about Intel’s upcoming Ivy Bridge processors in recent months, and now we’re getting a look at how they perform in notebooks.If this UltraSlim U14 is any guide though, the signs for Ivy Bridge notebooks look good -- 20-25% extra performance with no noticeable drop in battery life. We’ll be keen to see how things translate to new Core i7 mobile parts, particularly the quad-core chips.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
