My Toshiba Libretto L5 has served me well for a year now, but it's
a little slow so I'm looking to replace it. My highest priorities
are small size and light weight, but also need decent processing
capabilities.
After quite a bit of research, I've narrowed down the field to a
handful of notebooks. They include:
Sony VAIO TR5AP
Sony VAIO X505 (small HD, no CD)
IBM ThinkPad X40 (short batt life, no CD)
Panasonic ToughBook CF-W2 (slower CPU, less RAM)
Toshiba Dynabook SX (poor review, batt life)
My dings are listed in parens, and it looks like the Sony TR5AP is
the one for me. It's pricey at $3000, but my second choice (the
Dynabook) is almost $1000 more. Also, the TR5AP is available in
the US (although I've had a good experience with Dynamism for my
Libretto).
Any comments on the TR5AP (or other suggestions) would be most
welcome.
