Ultra-light notebooks
We test three of the latest ultra-portable laptops
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.
