And then there was light

Ultra thin and still ultra fast. For this review we received eight notebooks in total. We looked at the ultralight Compaq Presario, which only weighed 1.59kg. We also ended up receiving a few notebooks that scraped under 2.5kg which was our limit.

With these heavier notebooks we saw some larger displays and built-in DVD/floppy drives. The smaller notebooks all had external DVD/floppy drives. They were a little messier but it's the only way you can shed some weight from a notebook. The greatest emphasis was placed on the build quality, weight, and performance of each notebook.
