    Hi everyone,
    I'm looking for a sub-1kg 10.1" notebook with 4:3 aspect ratio and longest battery life. I'd like to stick with 4500MHD, which narrow my choice down to CF-R8. But is there any reason to go with CF-R7 or even CF-R6 instead (other than lower price)?

    Given the difference in screen quality, real battery life and other features, which one would you prefer?

    Maybe even new J9 (the cheapest one with i3-370M) is worth considering..

    They are better than a netbook, notable inprovements processor/screen
    I have had the 12" compact Panasonics and liked the circular scroll wheel

    Not many members here have tryed out the smaller Panasonics
