Alienware takes a nice step out of the high-power desktop world into the ultraportable market with the Sentia m3200

This VAIO is stylish and redefines the meaning of the term ultra-portable. We wouldn't recommend it if you are just looking for a notebook, but if portability is your number one concern, then you can't go past the VGN-TX27GP.

There's no doubt this unit is ultraportable and it did well in our battery testing, but with a $5499 price tag it's just too expensive.

The VAIO VGN-UX17 is a revolutionary entry into the portable notebook space, offering a fully fledged Windows XP device that is small enough to fit into the palm of your hand. We'd like to see further developments, but it still should appeal to those looking for portability and full PC functionality.

The first leather encased notebook on the market, the S6 also performs quite well.

A good ultraportable, the U5F offers excellent battery life and solid performance wrapped up in a stylish and attractive package.

The Lenovo 3000 V100 is a good all round notebook that also happens to be fairly small.

If your business or studies require full functionality from your notebook while away from power and network connections then you can't go wrong with the X60. While it's expensive, it's still competitively priced in its class.

Exceptional battery life and a compact design make the nc2400 a great option for those willing to sacrifice some performance.

It's rare to find a notebook as versatile as the LifeBook P1610. There are certainly compromises to be made for its tiny frame and convertible design, but if blistering performance isn't essential, the P1610 is well worth a look.

The Fujitsu P7230 ultra portable notebook doesn't offer stellar performance, but its impressive battery life will keep you up and running for long periods of time and its light-weight design with the 10in screen make it very easy to carry around.
