If you look at the computer notebook market, you'll realize thata lot has changed. Most new notebooks these days are dominatedby the Intel Pentium M processor. This CPU allows notebooks tobe designed thin and light due to its low power and highperformance.
If you're a wireless network fan, you'll also realize that mostnotebooks have wireless network support by default. Many laptopsalso have a much wider screen to allow enjoyment of multimediaand games.
Here's a personal scoop of the top 5 thin and light notebooksout in the market right now.
Toshiba Satellite M45-S3511
Powered by an Intel Pentium M 740 (1.73 GHz) processor and 512MB of RAM, the Toshiba Satellite M45-S3511 is well suited forboth home and office use. It also comes with a widescreendisplay, a speedy 8x DVD+/-RW burner and a huge 100 GB harddrive. A very nice notebook that is highly recommended.
