I’d like to enter the sub-notebook space this fall. I want one of those light-weight and super portable laptops. Sure, I have a great laptop for work, but it is a desktop replacement. Super powerful – and super heavy. Not something I can just toss in a bag and go without planning (and grabbing a power cord!).

I want to be able to quickly hit web pages, email, connect to VPNs and even run Remote Desktop. I can do all these things on my HTC Mogul, but for long sessions that little keyboard goes quickly from convenience to pain in the butt. I want something a bit larger for sustained efforts.

There are some interesting choice these days and that’s what’s giving me pause.

For instance:

La empresa Dell acaba de lanzar al mercado una nueva notebook mini, llamada Dell Inspiron Mini 9, que viene a competir en el mercado de las ultra portables, en donde se encontrara con las ya establecidas OLPC y Asus EeePC.

Un defecto en las baterías de algunos iPod nano hace que se sobrecalienten e incluso ya han ardido algunos provocando quemaduras a sus propietarios.
