Announced: MSI S262

by

Daily Tech has news of the MSI S262 notebook. The MSI S262 is a new model from MSI Computers, the successor to the S260. It’s powered by an Intel Centrino Core Duo and has a 12.1-inch widescreen display (WXGA). It weighs in at 4.3 pounds, rather hefty for one in this class, but it does have an optical drive (upto a Dual-Layer DVD Writer), and it has room for 2GB of memory – with two memory slots (the ASUS W5F which Daily Tech compares it to only has one and is only capable of 1.5GB of memory).

Updated: ASUS W5F System Specs, W5Ae

by

ASUS has released full system specifications for their new Intel Core Duo powered 12-inch ultraportable, the ASUS W5F. Being as how this is one of the first Core Duo ultraportables, it’s generating a lot of buzz.

I’ve added a new page, for the ASUS W5Ae. Even though it’s an upgraded W5A, it was given a seperate model number, and so I shall treat it as a seperate model.

Top 15 Ultraportable Laptops of 2005

by

I have compiled a list of the top 15 ultraportable laptops, based on page views here at Ultraportable Laptops and Notebooks. Page views aren’t the most accurate way to gauge what the best laptop is, however they do reflect the amount of interest, and in this case I used both page views of the laptops as well as news stories. It covers October (when we moved to the small-laptops.com domain) through the end of December, 2005, however based on what I’ve read over the past year or so, and the amount of press certain laptops have received, I feel it’s probably fairly accurate – it includes a mix of both older laptops that were refreshed last year as well as new models. Where there were varying models between regions, I’ve taken that into account and added them together (under their most common model name).

by

Apple has announced the first of their Intel-powered portable lineup , and it’s not an ultralight 13-inch widescreen iBook as so many have rumored – instead it’s a 15-inch “MacBook Pro“. The new MacBook Pro is powered by an Intel Core Duo 1.67GHz or 1.83GHz CPU.

Intel Core Duo-Powered Ultraportables

by

I’ve added a small page that lists the Intel Core Duo-powered ultraportables here. Right now, the only “officially” announced ultraportables are from ASUS, Lenovo, and Toshiba. More Core Duo laptops should start showing up very soon, as some companies are simply taking existing laptops and swapping out the systemboards.
