$2,099.00
Released May, 2008
The Pros:Ultra-light construction, very easy to carry around. Battery lasts at least 5 hours before it runs out. WiFi connects reliably, doesn't tend to drop off ever.
The Cons:A bit out-dated, typical processor speeds and HDD sizes are much bigger even on the cheapest modern laptops. Some noticeable system lag when running Windows Vista. Multitasking too many applications makes the system run much slower.
