Ultra-light notebooks

By David Bayon

Mention the word ultraportable and people will tend to conjure up images of sleek, slim and lightweight notebooks. But the likelihood is they’ll also think of under-powered CPUs and a lack of features. Show them a modern machine like Samsung’s diminutive Q35, though, and doubts will be quashed: the latest processors allow dual-core power to be crammed into the tiniest of chassis, while ultra-slim optical drives mean you don’t have to carry a separate box around with you.

And, thanks to the Core Duo’s power efficiency, batteries last longer than ever: Lenovo’s eight-cell unit let the ThinkPad X60 run for ten-and-a-half hours on a single charge. This is more convenient than others that come with two batteries, and will let you get through a whole working day without
mains power.
