| Review summary | The thin-and-light Sony VAIO VGN-S470P delivers an ideal combination of performance and features in a perfectly portable package. | An inexpensive business ultraportable, the TravelMate TM3002WTCi offers an appealing design, plus lots of speed and battery life, but it lacks some security features and support niceties. | The well-designed, ultraportable Averatec 1000 has neither the endless battery life nor the high price of the competition. | The Novatel Wireless V620 PC Card is the fastest cellular modem we've seen so far. |
