'The X61's form factor makes it ideal for being a light weight companion in a briefcase, and with its solid construction it feels safe throwing it in with other files and books'
'The $3,699 Sony VAIO VGN-TZ298N/XC is a 2.7-pound ultraportable aimed at business users who want a stylish, compact notebook with cutting-edge features'
'The whole laptop is very solidly constructed and generally looks great.'
'It might be external but Acer has at least given it a really cool design in keeping with the rest of the notebook – it has angular buttons and a red streak down the side – it looks like Darth Vader's personal external DVD-ROM drive - and that's a good thing.'
