Atom is a line of processors, like i3 or FX. It's not an architecture.

You'll find there is a new version coming out soon though.

On the AMD side you can find chips like the E-series ones, or other embedded processors.

FYI: Anything with an Atom is not an Ultrabook. Ultrabook is an Intel marketing term that refers only to those computers with a Core i-series processor, and certain weight/thickness limits. You may be thinking of netbooks.

Thank you for all the help; So which is best for a Ultrabook-nettop ,It wouldnt necessarily need to be Atom ;An Arm or Amd offering would be welcome.I want to use Linux on it as Windows 8 sounds offal ;I have dabbed with a few flavors but its a pain with my large Tower case changing cables, is 1 reason ,I want small factor which i can easily lift ,I really like Netbooks if anyone, can suggest ,It would be greatly appreciated ?

ARM is out of the question for Windows unless you want to run Windows RT which is designed to run on ARM processors. Not sure if there is a Linux version which runs on ARM.

Netbooks is basically dying out. They peaked at 12 million units sold per quarter in 2009 down to 3 million in Q1 2013. I would actually consider a small laptop unless the size is too big. Such as the two Acer 11.6" laptops:

They've definitely being predicting the death of Netbooks, even almost form the start ;Dont really get the restricted tablet phone thing ,they'll probably be the future ,wwhich is greaat with me,but way to restrricting at the moment
Have been wating 5 years for somthing worthwhile in the Pc market ,wantes to through money at a UltraTop or Netbook ,as they wernt willing to take a risk ,have just held on ;personally think theyve lost money by not invetiing & delvoping the small Pc market
Dont doubt tablets will be the future ,but keyboards have lots to bring ,while they argue over differsnt patents in the courts
Thank you Jaguarkx
