I have seen several comparisons in which computing power is considered
important -- but the size/weight of the laptop is not mentioned.
Because of working while travelling, I am more concerned with the
weight and battery-life than with speed.  Sometimes I even use my z88,
because it runs for 24+ hours and weighs less than 2 pounds.  Is there
anything like this around yet, only with better than 8 x 80 characters
on the screen?
