An impressive design and high quality finish, both hallmarks of Sony laptops are present in this netbook as well. Weighing a total of 650 gm, Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z/R is extremely portable though it is slightly unusual in shape. A good looking net book, Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z/R comes with Windows XP as its operating system. It is powered by an Intel Atom Z520 processor which runs at 1.33GHz. With 2048MB of memory, it offers sufficient storage and is just about fine to work while on the move. It has an 8-inch X-black LED-backlit display screen with a resolution of 1,600×768. Light and portable, this machine is good value for money. Though the screen is great for surfing the Internet and typing documents, it is small to watch movies on. It has an installed memory of 60GB, which is slightly less than the storage capacity of your standard netbook.

A good flat keyboard and well-spaced keys are other helpful features of this compact machine. It is a pleasure to type on these keys. With dimensions 245×120x20mm and weighing 636gm including the standard battery, the Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z/R is certainly one of the lightest notebooks in the market. Also one of the smallest, most compact and extremely portable, the P-series netbook uses a completely fan less design. The only moving part inside the machine is the 60GB mechanical hard drive. It has 2 USB ports, one headphone jack and port replicator connector (for Gigabit Ethernet/VGA). Bluetooth, an integrated 0.3 mega pixel webcam, built-in stereo speakers and microphone along with memory Stick and SD card slots are its other features. A stylish device, its battery runs for a maximum of 3 hours or so when on the go.

Stealth Computer, a leading manufacturer of specialized miniature PCs and computer peripherals, has recently unveiled its new mini PC called LPC-625F, which is ideal for use in mission critical operations. The Stealth LPC-625F boasts of its strength and fan-less assembly. You don’t have to worry about its maintenance too much as it can face bumpy roads and accidental drops, dust and moisture. The LPC-625F has got an aluminium rugged chassis that itself acts as a heat sink of the device, thus there is no need to install a dedicated noisy fan for cooling. The aluminium chassis also acts as the key factor behind the ultra-light form factor of the LPC-625F.

The LPC-625F is optimised for military computing, rugged operations and other mission critical solutions. It is basically meant for system integrators who crave a strong, durable and fanless computer. That’s right, the LPC-625F doesn’t need a fan, nor will need something like the CoolerMaster NotePal P1 laptop cooling fan either, as the Stealth mini PC can cool itself without making an noise or overheating. The LPC-625F is an ideal product for demanding applications used within various verticals such as Industrial, Commercial, Scientific Research, Military, Public Safety, Utility, Transportation, mining and Telecommunications markets. It assures unsurpassed performance, reliability and top notch durability every time you are set for work.

The LPC-625F is built around Intel’s Penryn family of Core 2 Duo Mobile processor technology with ample amount of main memory and performance boosters integrated within the circuit. It’s a very small sized PC and measures 7.9 by 7.9 by 2.4 inches only. For mobile workers it’s a boon as it offers myriad of connectivity ports and interfaces. These include Gigabit LAN, 8-USB 2.0, 1-Serial, 1-eSATA 1-DVI, 1-HDMI and Audio 7.1 ports and Wi-Fi 802.11g (optional). You can opt for up to 4GB of memory and 500GB 2.5-inch high-shock hard drive. The LPC-625F can be run on both Windows and Linux OSes.
