I'd have to disagree with the assumption that subnotebook means A4
or smaller. On my site, I pretty much say the only distinction is that
the system weigh under 5lbs, a limit I've found most respondents agree
with that. While it's nice that Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard continue
to offer a small design, with the 560 and DEC Hi-Note Ultra offering
large displays while still coming under the 5lb weight limit, I see
users as getting the best of both worlds.
