Stylish laptops for mobile executives Updated January 12, 2006 With ample processing power and battery life, these laptops will help you get the job done--but that's not why you'll buy them. These laptops are status symbols. The Toshiba Portege R200, for example, is exceptionally thin, and the Sharp M4000 offers a big, bright screen in a remarkably light package. The tiny VAIO VGN-TX670P and the thin-and-light ThinkPad Z60t both feature built-in cellular networking, so you'll never be out of touch. And you can take handwritten notes onscreen with the ultraportable ThinkPad X41 Tablet or the paperback-size Fujitsu LifeBook P1510D.
