In the last few months there have been a lot of good high quality "Ultra Portable" notebooks now on the market - Most are very Good and the HP has several out now, the 2133 is a good all round entry basic unit for around $650. as with most ultra portables the HP runs with a low power draining processor which are a bit slower but runs cooler. The Hp2133 has lots of built in goodies, a long battery life, but slow and has no optical drive. If you do gamming or CAD (like me) you need a bit more to do the job. The ASUS U6sg-A1 (better then the A6s-A1) is a good choice. It has a regular (fast) processor Intel core 2 duo like the full size notebooks & NVIDIA GeForce graphics, plus an extra battery pack. Yes it's almost 3 times the $ of the HP but it can do the job. A couple of years ago a CAD notebook would be 4k and be the size of a house plus the weight of a bowling ball! Sony has a new small unit VAIO SZ791N/X out now that runs off Regular (newer) processor too Intel core 2 duo & very good graphics but it is a lot more $. Both the U6 & the 791 have Blue tooth, all kind of wireless /card options, loads of ram & all the latest goodies plus a 250 Gig HD. I hope to buy one late this summer, in the past I have found the best deals at that time.
