Small laptops

So I’ve been thinking about travelling again (as in, my thoughts have returned to travelling, not I’m about to head off again), and I’m thinking I need a smaller laptop. I found having my Asus W5F really handy; mainly for the photos, but also because I was able to get free internet around the place. The main problem was the size — it’s pretty small, but everything seems huge when you’re trying to live out of a backpack. (The camera is something else I’m thinking of downsizing…)

Anyway, Sizeasy makes comparing sizes a lot easier than trying to imagine what a difference of 10mm means. Here’s a picture I made of the laptops I’m looking at (none seem like a great choice at this point, but they’re the best options around):

Sizeasy is pretty cool; it’s a nifty idea. In terms of the laptops, the Kojinsha SA1 seems a little underpowered, and the rest a little scarily pricey. The OQO Model 02 should be on there as well — it’s tiny and awesome, but even more expensive. I’m thinking I should try and go a little cheaper… I’ve no idea how much the US702 will cost, it won’t be out for a while. Details (in English at least) are a little hard to find, but it looks pretty nice. In the diagram I’m assuming the Flybook v5i will be a similar size to the v33i — it hasn’t been released yet.
