Palmtop computers are small computers that are usually clamshell designs with a screen display in the lid and a small keyboard in the main unit. They are also called handhelds or Handheld PCs (H/PC or just HPC).

[edit] OS

These units usually run a small operating system similar to those used on PDAs and smartphones. These include WinCE, Symbian OS, Linux, and even earlier PC OS's like DOS and Windows running over DOS.
