Ultralight Notebooks

Chris writes: "I was wandering if you could suggest a laptop that is lightweight, long battery life, 13.3 inch screen, with Win 7. Budget of $1000"

Chris, I recently did just this research. I was looking for a notebook to edit the show on the go -- which isn't easy considering the heaft and hunger of those AVCHD video files. If you've been watching the show for a while you also know I'm the netbook boy. First with the 7" eeePC, then the 9" Aspire One, and more recently the 10" Nokia Booklet 3g. The next step up to get a "real CPU" is 13.3" -- a sweet spot of performance and portability.

What I found was that ultra-light, ultra-long battery life is in. These sweet new Consumer-Ultra-Low-Voltage (culv) chips from Intel and AMD are sexy. I thought I would need a 35 watt Core i7, or at least a 25 watt 2.2GHz or faster Core2Duo to edit on the go -- but I lucked out with the 10 watt 1.3ghz SU7300 Core2Duo chip from Intel.

The video editing performance of the ASUS UL-series notebook I ended up with is aided by hardware accellerated video processing in the GMA 4500 M HD. AVC, VC1 and h.264 decoding are offloaded to the graphics chip. In Windows 7 Home Premium I'm able to playback 17mbps AVCHD in WMP using only 20% CPU. Not bad at all.

So if you're willing to live without an optical drive an ultralight notebook may be the best choice for you. The performance seems enough and the battery life is steller. I've seen prices in the $650 - 900 range so take a look at the ASUS UL, Acer Timeline, Dell Inspiron Z, Samsing X and Lenovo U series notebooks. Just be sure to get a Core 2 Duo -- I'm not reading great things about the Core 2 Solo part. SU7xxx and SU9xxx seem to be where it's at. For now. We'll likely see a lot more of these slim buggers at CES.

I want to give a special thanks to our crew for being so supportive while I was in hospital. Shannon did a wonderful job of taking care of the hakshop and mailing out all the orders while I was away. Thanks Revision3 for understanding about the late episode, Sentara for their open wifi and hot nurses, and a big thanks to our loyal fans. All of well wishes on twitter, facebook and youtube, the forums and IRC brightened my day every day. And DigiPirate, thanks for the awesome USB Dalek Webcam. Exterminate!! Exterminate!!
