I'm being unfaithful to my laptop. I recently looked for a battery for my Sharp Actius MM-20 laptop. I don't think that there that many produced, and so I think the accessories are quickly becoming hard to find. (I did find a battery for it today.)
Since the batteries I have are getting weak, and given its age, I need to start thinking about getting another laptop. I probably won't get another MM20, because even now half a gigabyte of RAM is kind of aenimic. But the question is, what to replace it with? I've gotten really spoiled with the MM20 which is under two pounds, so I'm looking for something that's very very light.
Years ago I was interested in a colleague's Sony Vaio Picturebook. The last version I knew about didn't have built-in wireless, which is too bad. It's even smaller than my current one. As it turns out, that version was the last one produced, and so there is no version that has built-in wireless, nor in fact a reasonable RAM capability. Aaaaargh. So what was the perfect laptop, but no way to get a contemporary version. So in the last couple of days, I have been doing a bit of pre-shopping to see what might be a suitable replacement when the times come.
I'm interested by the HP Pavilion Tablet. If I had to get a new laptop today, it would probably be this one.
The Panasonic W7 is very nice, but it's pretty expensive.
The ASUS Eee is a great idea, but its screen is 800x480. Back in the day, I decided not to get another clamshell iBook because its screen was only 800x600.
