One of the main characteristics differentiating notebook processors from other CPUs is [[Low-power electronics|low-power]] [[power consumption|consumption]]. |
|||
The notebook processor is becoming an increasingly important [[market segment]] in the [[semiconductor industry]]. Notebook computers are an increasingly popular format of the broader category of [[Mobile computing|mobile computer]]s. The objective of a notebook computer is to provide the performance and functionality of a [[desktop computer]] in a [[portable computer|portable]] size and weight. |
|||
Cell phones and PDAs utilize [[microcontroller]]s that use less power than notebook processors. |
|||
While it is possible to use desktop processors in laptops, this practice is generally not recommended, as desktop processors heat faster than notebook processors and drain batteries faster. |
