There were in the past a number of marketing categories for smaller and larger laptop computers; these included "notebook" and "[[subnotebook]]" models, low cost "[[netbook]]s", and "[[ultra-mobile PC]]s" where the size class overlapped with devices like [[smartphone]] and handheld [[Tablet computer|tablets]], and "[[Desktop replacement]]" laptops for machines notably larger and heavier than typical to operate more powerful [[Central processing unit|processors]] or [[Graphics processing unit|graphics hardware]].<ref name="types_cnet">{{cite web|title=Laptop Buying Guide|url=http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7602_7-1016082-2.html|access-date=7 November 2008|website=CNET}}</ref> All of these terms have fallen out of favor as the size of mainstream laptops has gone down and their capabilities have gone up; except for niche models, laptop sizes tend to be distinguished by the size of the screen, and for more powerful models, by any specialized purpose the machine is intended for, such as a "[[Gaming computer|gaming laptop]]" or a "[[Workstation|mobile workstation]]" for professional use.{{See also|Gaming computer#Gaming laptop computers|Mobile workstation}}
