Ultra Portable Laptop <3lbs???

Oct 18, 2004 3:01PM PDT

I am looking for an ultra portable laptop to surf the web,perform simple e-mail, word and excell and my finances. The models I am looking are the Toshiba R100, Sharp MM20, Sony T150 and the Japenees Panasonic R3. Most important is slim profile with long battery life. I am hesitant to order the Panasonic R3 due to it being a Japenees model with no support in the US but it does claim 9hrs of battery life! Any recomendations?

I think that you see that expense in the Sony smaller units so its not out of line for the size.

If you want cheap, lift the weight up to around 6 pounds.
