Ultra-portable Notebooks

I have always been a fan of very small and lightweight notebooks. My wife is always asking how I can see anything on that small screen. If you need to carry a notebook around with you, being light weight is a real bonus. Here is a model that I was interested in when I read about this last week.

A little-known San Francisco firm has created a personal computer that weighs 1 pound, clips onto a belt like a cell phone and runs any Windows program.
Born in a warehouse in Hunters Point, Oqo (pronounced O-Q-O) is the brainchild of a team of former Apple and IBM engineers who set out to create a new genre of ultra-small, fully functional, go-anywhere PCs.
That was in 2000. Eight years and a few false starts later, Oqo has matured into a firm with 100-plus employees, more than $20 million in sales and one huge challenge: to defend its niche against computer giants like Hewlett-Packard, Acer and the Taiwanese firm Asus that have either launched or are poised to launch their own ultra-portable PCs.
Asus released a 7-inch, $500 PC substitute several months ago and a 9-inch version will premiere any day. HP recently released the $600 Mini-Note PC, a 2.6-pound laptop running Windows Vista, and Acer is expected to unveil ultra-portables soon.
Against these emerging competitors, Oqo is selling a fourth-generation device called the Model 02. This 1-pound PC is about the size of an old fashioned paperback book. It starts at $1,300 and comes with a vivid screen, QWERTY keyboard, built-in wireless and a hard drive or flash memory for storage.
Standard connectors allow users to plug the Model 02 into a full-sized keyboard and monitor when working in an office.

More about Model 02

The unit comes with a belt clip so you don't have to worry about laying it down and leaving it somewhere. A little pricey at $1300, but a neat idea.

For a more approachable option we have the Asus eeePC in stock for about half the price. It's a little bit heavier, but it still has lots to offer. The keyboard action feels great and the screen is vivid. 2.6 lbs and all of the functionality of a

full size PC.
