Toshiba Satellite U205-S5022


The Toshiba Satellite U205-S5022 must be the best so far from Toshiba. It has a very comfortable keyboard. Screen is absolutely bright and clear. Performance is great with duo processing power to meet all the demands of multitasking. This laptop is perfect for travelers and everyday use.

PCMag.com reviewed the Toshiba Satellite U205-S5022 laptop and wrote - "Up until now, the only first-rate ultraportable that Toshiba offered was the Portégé R200, but its hefty price tag and laggard performance were definite turn-offs. That's all about to change. At $1,350 street, the Toshiba Satellite U205-S5022 puts price and performance in perspective. An ultraportable that weighs just over 4 pounds and carries dual-core components as well as a built-in DVD burner, it can serve as a fully equipped notebook for those who hit the road regularly. (The U205-S5002, a version with a slower processor, sells for $1,199.99 direct.)"

The Toshiba Satellite U205-S5022 also features a stunning 12.1″ diagonal widescreen WXGA display with TruBrite technology for a brilliance rarely seen in notebooks this size. Starting at just 4.1 pounds*, this lightweight performer comes packed with features you won’t find in the same weight class. Including advanced shock-absorbing design*, resilient chassis, HDD protection*, and spill-resistant keyboard that protect your notebook, its key components, and your data from bumps, drops and water spills.

Dell Latitude D420


The Dell Latitude D420 is a 3-pound lightweight laptop made of magnesium alloy and packing an Intel Core Solo processor that the company claims will last seven hours on a charge. It also has a "WiFi catcher" switch that can serve as a hotspot sniffer without turning on the laptop.

The standard system comes with a Smart Card reader and Trusted Platform Module security technology, and customers can add biometric fingerprint readers as well.

Connectivity includes 3 USB ports, an IEEE 1394 port, and an SD card slot.

CNET.com reviewed the Dell Latitude D420 laptop and wrote - "Dell's business-minded Latitude notebooks have always been more about function than form, but the Latitude D420 manages to pack some decent specs into a package that is both small and attractive, making this ultraportable the smallest laptop Dell currently offers. With almost a full workday's worth of battery life, the Latitude D420 stands up admirably to other similarly configured systems in its price range, such as the Lenovo 3000 V100. The 3.7-pound system has just gotten an upgrade to include Intel's Core Duo processor, and at $1,534, it's a solid choice for both consumers and small business users who need power and portability at the same time."
