Who makes the best Ultra Portable Notebook?

[Rick67]

I think I've decided to go as small as possible. I'd like to get a notebook that plays 3D games but I think the size of these defeats the purpose of getting a notebook. I know after a while I?d get tired of lugging it around. I can play 3D games at home on my desktop all day long anyway.

My only real requirements are that it uses Centrino, has a widescreen display, and built-in DVD/CD-RW.

So far I?ve found the following notebooks that meet these requirements:

Fujitsu LifeBook P5000
Sony PCG-TR1A

Does anyone know of any other ultra portable notebooks besides these two? Of these two which one would you buy?

Thanks,

I just checked out that Sony notebook. It looks like an iBook.

Actually, for a while I had narrowed down my options to those exact two models with the 900mhz P-M , but then I kept thinking about small keyboard/screen and how after a lot of typing (writing papers) it will start getting uncomfortable. So then I narrowed down my options to T40 (ibm) and D600 (dell).

Well, from my research, I found that not a lot of US models that fit the ultraportable profile that I was looking for.
here is a panasonic one

However, I have found various japanese models that seem to fit the profile

Check Those are some really nice tiny laptops. Japanese Models (thou not all meet the requirements)

but I hear ya, both of those two laptops are really nice and it's a difficult call unless we start hearing more reviews soon (mainly because the sony will start shipping sometime in august for USA from what I heard)
