Ultra Portable All notebooks and laptops are portable computers, however as technology races ahead, we see smaller and smaller gadgets that have increasingly more power. Look at the Ipod Nano holding 350+ songs, compared to carrying around 35 tapes and a boombox in the 80s. Consumers are demanding smaller and lighter notebooks, hence the Ultra Portable class. Ultra Portable is typically under 5lbs, weight being the key factor for portability. Size is also crucial, and thickness also dictates whether a notebook is "ultra" portable or not; 1.5" thickness is not uncommon in an ultra-portable laptop PC. The benefits for ultra portable lightweight notebooks are that they are...more portable. Easier to carry, easier to store, lighter on the back, smaller case to tote them. The drawback is that you MAY sacrifice features, although more and more the ultra portables are packing a lot of power. Another thing to consider when choosing Ultra portable is the LCD screen size, and possibly a smaller keyboard. Additionally, some of the smallest laptops do not have a touchpad but use a touchpoint or button instead. Laptopbroker.com has a search filter to view all UltraPortable notebooks, and gives the weight and dimensions of each notebook to help you make your decision.
