The VAIO VGN-G118GN is an ultraportable notebook in a very small form factor--just 277 x 23.5-25.5 x 215mm and 1.15kg with the battery installed, making it a good pick for business types who travel a lot--or anyone who doesn't want a whole lot of back strain from lugging around a notebook all day. (2019 clicks)

Compaq Presario B1900
Tuesday, 01-May-2007, 03:13:15
The HP Compaq Presario B1900 is an ultraportable laptop and normally that means two things--you'll pay a small fortune for the privilege of not ripping your shoulder off lugging it around all day, and you'll have to put up with a ton of system compromises due to the constraints that a small form factor brings. While the B1900 doesn't entirely escape the latter problem -more on that later- it does come to market at a very wallet-friendly starting price of S$1,999, around a thousand dollars less than comparable ultraportable units. (1247 clicks)

If you get a feeling of deja vu with the HP Pavilion dv2000, that's because it is the fraternal twin of the Compaq Presario V3000 minus the integrated Webcam and Zen wave design. Like the latter, the dv2000 offers a full suite of connectivity ports and entertainment features and--with a starting price of US$1,589.90 - doesn't attempt to bust your budget while doing so. (1081 clicks)

Saturday, 02-September-2006, 18:48:37
Toshiba?s newest sub-notebook is tiny and it offers an amazing amount of battery life. The Dynabook SS S30 weighs in at just 1.2 kg (2.6 pounds), which is small even for the Dynabook line of Windows XP Pro notebooks. But Toshiba promises that the battery will last you for 9 hours, or 13.5 hours with the extended battery. That number is obviously exaggerated like every battery life claim is, but even a reduced figure would be better than most devices.  (980 clicks)
