Three teeny notebooks

The NYT covers three ultraportable notebooks today. The Vaio TXN15 (center) sports an instant-on operating system if you don’t want to go into Vista, along with fingerprint security and a svelte 2.8 pound weight. But it’s a bit pricey at $2000. The Fujitsu Lifebook P7230 (right) weighs even less, at 2.63 pounds. PCMag review rates the Sony and the Lifebook about equally. Averatec will be offering a no-frills model, the 1579, around May 11th. It’s a little heavier at 3.6 pounds, but the price is much lower than the other two, at $1300.

If you want a little more exercise, the 13" Macbook is roughly the same size, and rates 6 hours of battery life, even if it weighs 5.2 pounds. Of course, if you’re a Mac lover (or hater), there’s no comparison.
