    Small laptops

    I'm considering getting an ultra portable laptop, doesn't need to be super fast just very light weight, small and have a decent battery and screen

    I was thinking along the lines of 12" screen or smaller and no (built in) optical media.

    not having a huge experience of such devices can anyone recommend anything?

      My wife has one for work and I think she gets about 6 hours out of the battery.

              I got one of these a year ago, it's great, 1.24Kg I think light really light, it really does pay off when your at the airport or whenever you travel - 7 hour battery life

                I have an Acer TravelMate 3000 - not sure what the current models would be. 12 inch screen, lightweight, but still came with a gig of memory 18 months ago. Very pleased with it.

                    Second that, on my second Xseries (x60s) now, they are well made, small and fast. Lenovo has my vote
