    Any Laptops that would be considered portable?

    Personally, I consider anything under 16" to be portable ;)

    Asus U series (not UL). Smallest is U20A but it's not a great value. I considered one myself until they never came thru with the su9600 equipped model. For a light lappy I'm holding out for a U20A refresh (maybe around august?) or a new X302 or X310 or whatev it ends up.
