TR2 versus P5020
I'm in the market for a small notebook. Size/weight is all important. It will be used prmarily for email when traveling. So I don't need the fastest, game-capable unit. I just want light and small, that I can slip into my backpack. My research came up with these two. Are there others out there that would suite my needs better. If not, which of these would you choose?
thanks
Ed

If size/weight are the critical factors, you should also look at the Sony X505 (1.7lbs, .5") and JVC 7310 (1.9lbs, tiny form factor). Also check out the Samsung X10 series, which is bigger and heavier (though still way lighter than most) but has a nice big 14.1" screen.
All of these have built-in Wi-Fi and (I think) Bluetooth.

Thanks. The X505 seems really expensive and the JVC does not have an CD/DVD included. So it seems like itsbetweem the TR2 and P 5020D. I had a chance to play with the TR2 at Circuit City. Great screen. The keyboard was not too good. I guess I have to track down a P5020D and compare the two.
Thanks for the input.
