The New York Times (via News.com) has an article about the
new crop of smaller notebooks, also known as subnotebooks,
ultraportable notebooks and ultralight laptops. These
laptops have much smaller screens (12.1 inches or less) and
weight only 2 to 4 pounds. One drawback is that some of the models
have tinier keyboards as well. The Times article
reviews several ultralight laptops including Toshiba's
Libretto U100, the Asus W5A, Sony's Vaio T350M, Sharp's
Actius MP30, the Fujitsu LifeBook P7010, IBM ThinkPad X41,
Dell's Latitude X1 and Hewlett-Packard's Compaq nc4200.
