Though it weighs just over 3 pounds, the Mini-Note manages to cram in two USB ports, an ExpressCard slot (handy for devices like a 3G ExpressCard for cellular broadband), an SD slot, and a 1. 3-megapixel webcam. An on/off switch on the notebook's bezel lets you control both Bluetooth and 802. 11a/b/g connectivity. HP also offers a number of storage options for the Mini-Note, including 4GB and 64GB solid-state drives as well as 120GB and 160GB spinning ones. It should be noted that SSDs offer a particular benefit for travelers: They're sturdy, so should your laptop take a tumble, your data is far more likely to stay intact.

This is a definite bonus if, say, you're creating materials for client presentations on the fly.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 takes connectivity a step further. Though this featherweight ultraportable doesn't come cheap, it manages to incorporate an integrated EV-DO antenna and GPS module, plus it's WiMAX-ready. This ultraportable is one of the first notebooks to include a WiMAX chip,

Although the ThinkPad X300 is a good choice if you're looking for impressive battery life, the ASUS U2E-A2B really shines in this department. ASUS thoughtfully included an extra battery, so you have the option to swap out a lighter, low-duty three-cell battery for a heavier 63-Wh unit that will keep this ultraportable in business for upwards of 5 hours. The U2E-A2B also manages to squeeze a dual-layer DVD burner into its 2. 7-pound chassis, along with an impressive three USB ports and an HDMI port (besides the usual features we expect to see in a laptop of this size and weight).
So if you're planning to hit the road anytime soon, be sure to pack one of these lightweight wonders. For more on what these impressive ultraportables have to offer, make our in-depth reviews your next destination.
