A sneak peek suggests ultra portables from HP and Lenovo may challenge earlier thin notebook offerings.
New ultra portables in for review that are bound to appeal to users who value portability—but want it at a more affordable price.
Hewlett-Packard's new ultraportable, the $1,599 HP Compaq nc2400, boasts a bright, 12.1-inch screen and weighs 3.6 pounds. The unit includes an extended battery and has a built-in DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo. The nc2400 was released in early May.
Meanwhile, the Lenovo 3000 v100 laptop could provide serious competition to Lenovo's own ThinkPad X60s in some markets.
