Whats the best lightweight laptop pc?
 

Hello,

Whats the best deal on a light weight laptop?
Something thats reliable and well supported.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Personally i'd go with one of the lighter model dells

I had the Toshiba Portege. It's light and it was nice. I just didn't want such a small monitor.

The Sony 10.6 inch is also very light and quite nice.

Check out Fujitsu too. I just bought a 15 inch and it weighs 6 lbs. but they have lighter ones, too.

I second fujitsu . . .

Hello Raven how've you been?
Hi bmb! Ok Fujistsu will look into those. Thanks

Any more?

Is 6 lbs about as as light as youd want to find on a business portable ?

Hey, Joe..how's it hangin'? Life's good here..

For me, the six pounds is okay....I needed a laptop for two reasons. One to travel and one to have in my den to be available when I'm not in my office...so monitor size was a little more important to me than weight, although I did not want one of those that weighed a ton. I have a leather carrying case for it, so all in all, it weighs in around 8 lbs..not bad for a carryon at the airport and the 15 inch screen works well for me.

One other thing that bothered me about the Toshiba Portege was it seemed too light, which, to me translated into fragility. It seemed too breakable, although those who have it, say it's very sturdy for its weight.

What I found, however, is traveling doesn't allow me much room to open the 15 inch...so I'm probably going to do what I didn't want to do, which is buy another one that is smaller...probably the Sony 10.6 inch. It's tiny and can fit into my purse.

I do, however, like the functionality of this Fujitsu.....so if they have a lighter model, I may look into that.....I'm not a great lover of Sony..but so far, that's the smallest, lightest one I've seen.

Hey, thanks Raven.. Things are going great!
I have been looking at Table PCs and they are very cool!
I love the concept. Have you looked at them?
