HP ProBook 5310m

If you are after a tiny laptop, and are certain you won't ever be playing any graphically intensive games on it, you'd be hard pressed to find a better machine than HP's 5310m.

Reviews

Dell Latitude XT2 Tablet

Dell's tablet isn't cheap, but it'll appeal to the business crowd who desire a solidly built system.
Fujitsu LifeBook P3110

Fujitsu has perfectly positioned the LifeBook P3110, from the AU$1099 price, to its size and specs. If you have modest needs but have been hesitant about picking up a netbook, you'll be pleasantly surprised by what this laptop can offer.

Modern Warfare 2 nails the three pillars of play — campaign, cooperative and multiplayer — to earn its place in the pantheon of modern shooters.

Although ultimate image quality and features are sacrificed on the altar of price and pocketability, the MinoHD should be on casual videographers shortlists.
HP ProBook 4310s

If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.
