Review: Sharp Ultraportable
Sharp's new, reasonably priced Actius UM32W ($1899) ultraportable is a great value, if you can overlook the flimsy external CD-ROM drive and a bare-bones, clumsy-feeling keyboard. Our reviewer loved the notebook's wireless network antennas embedded in the 12.1-inch screen, the CompactFlash card slot, and other features. But the UM32W comes with trade-offs, such as a hard drive that's inaccessible to users.

Review: New PowerBook Small in Size, Big in Beauty
Apple's new 12.1-inch PowerBook G4 has a lot going for it (other than the ad campaign starring Austin Powers' Mini Me). The $1999 model our reviewer tested provided lots of power and connectivity, and like other PowerBooks, it's sleek and attractive. Still, there are caveats. At 4.6 pounds, this subnotebook is heavy, and the screen is too small for comfortable long-term use.
