[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 518784, member: 259515"] PC World has listed what it says are the top five lightweight laptops for the summer. The laptop models from the likes of Samsung, HP and Dell are coincidentally all currently in stock on the PC World website. "Laptops are increasingly enabling people to easily work away from the desk and get outside. "Lightweight and ultra portable laptops come feature packed and have all the capabilities to set up an outdoor workspace," said Dean Kramer, laptop category manager at PC World. "These laptops have been selected for their durability, long battery life and versatility in the outdoors," he said.

But that's not strictly true in all cases of course, because a quick internet search reveals various retailers who're selling some of the same laptops at cheaper prices. Still though, we can't really fault the list, because there are some pretty good laptops in there. * [B]The top five laptops[/B] * The first laptop in the group is the [B]Samsung X22[/B].
