Best laptops for writers

On the road? Need to file that last report, or finish that last chapter in seclusion? We throw about our suggestions for the best laptops for writers.

The Asus U2E is a fantastic laptop. It's far slower than rivals such as the Sony Vaio TZ series or MacBook Air, but it's stylish, feature-rich and in many ways more desirable than many of the alternatives.

Reviews

Apple MacBook Air (1.6GHz)

Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
HP Compaq 2710p

HP's attractive Compaq 2710p convertible tablet suffers from one fatal flaw, choosing a ThinkPad-style pointing stick over a touchpad.
HP Compaq 2510p

HP's no-nonsense ultraportable laptop scores for its solid construction and some biz-friendly features, but the Compaq 2510p costs just as much as the flashy, consumer-oriented competition.
Toshiba Portege R500

Toshiba's much-anticipated Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now, but mobile broadband is conspicuously absent.
Lenovo ThinkPad X61s

The ThinkPad X61s provides excellent dual-core performance in a lightweight, compact package that's still comfortable to use.
ASUS U1F

The ASUS U1 is one of the best ultraportable laptops available today, and more than powerful enough for Web browsing and office tasks -- just don't expect it to run 3D games
Sony VAIO VGNG118GNB

Sony's latest business-centric Vaio is a wonder of sturdy construction, ultra light portability and enticing design. At the same time, it's not exactly an inexpensive number-crunching beast.
Dell XPS M1210

Upgraded to Windows Vista, the Dell XPS M1210 is a pricey but powerful system for those who want a smaller laptop with few compromises.
