Several folks are recommending this laptop for traveling. They cite the hard drive size (100 GB) as being a deciding factor as did the widescreen, battery life and weight (it’s around 6 pounds). For mine, it’s fairly standard but most certainly in the budget range at just over $700 which should be attractive to most users.

Perfect for watching DVD’s on a long flight, this portable player is decent for under $100. It’s lightweight and rugged durability are plusses. Lack of controls (mostly run through remote) and sub par speaker sound are minuses but rates well in bang for buck.

Measuring a measly 30 x 70 x 20mm and weighing 40g, it’s easy to picture this thing disappearing into teh depths of a laptop bag. Apparently available in four colors, white, black, red and blue, the price for Sigma’s Rotino laser mouse is $25.
