Samsung Q40 HWD U1400 - Core Solo U1400 1.2 GHz - 12" TFT

Advantages: Ultraportable, Stylish, Internal DVD±RW, Long Battery Life
Disadvantages: Few External Ports, Small Screen, Extortionate Price Tag

...this there is nothing amazing about the internal specification. With an Intel Core Solo U1400/1.2GHz and 1GB of DDRII RAM there's enough to run day-to-day tasks in Vista but anything more can cause quite a slowdown. The internal DVD±RW can bring the battery life down by an hour or so if it's in constant use but otherwise isn't a problem.

So I bought it from Dynanmism.com, who were very helpful and considerably cheaper at £1034 excluding customs, which I haven't had to pay yet (I might get billed). It's a 1.2ghz intel core solo processor with 30GB HDD. It comes with Windows XP professional. The looks of this thing are amazing, it's got a bright 4.5 inch screen that slides up to reveal a very nice keyboard with little blue LEDS.
