Was going to purchase the PA77u and want to know if this is worth it instead. I need it to be portable and light. How do the 2 compare size &amp; weight
471760
PA77U is slightly smaller and lighter. The key difference is resolution. PF85 is about 4.8LBS (dimensions10.8" x 1.8" x 8.6") while PA77U is 3.1LBS (9.05" x 6.69" x 1.73"). For portabulity and price PA77U is the winner but when it comes to the resolution PF85U is better at 1080P. PA77U is WXGA(1280X800).

I appreciate the tip about the Sony PSP. I'll Look into that. I actually already have a really good Sony Portable DVD. There are just a couple of problems with it that seem to be the downfall with most Portable DVD players. First it is really pretty bulky and with Airport security and the rest of the craziness with air travel, the less and the lighter the load with a small child in tow is preferable. The other problem is her want to remove/change DVDS on her own which is tending to cause some damage to the DVDs themselves. I still haven't purchased anything because I am really trying to find the best item to suit my needs and I really appreciate the helpful advice. I appreciate the tip about the Sony PSP.

The 1810T has in addition:- HDMI,- Bluetooth,- Gigabit ethernet,- Extra 2GB RAM for a total of 4GB.- It is also 0.2lbs lighter.I would still go for the UL20A though because of ASUS build quality, metallic cover and overall design if it had the first two, i.e. HDMI and Bluetooth. For now I'm waiting...

I think its a great option. Its lightweight and has great mobility. We generally use this at festivals and have been very happy with its performance.

Personally, if I were going to be carrying it around every day, I would prefer a lighter laptop. If it is just an occasional time, that would be different. I just LOVE this laptop. I noticed the first two responses were male. I am a female, so perhaps that is why I would prefer a lighter laptop if carrying around every day since I tend to have other things to carry, such as purse, etc.

Yes, in my opinion it is far better and more portable but then this is subjective isn't it? I don't have the tools to make an informed judgement so I guess you should have a good look at the specs. G

the laptop has a good screen size and premium sound. Its light weight as well.if you really want ease try the 11.6 inch laptops screen as well

Space and budget permissible, I would go with the P163's. I hate to strictly abide by "bigger is better" but often it is the case. That being said, I am still beyond thrilled with my P153's and am a bit sad that I didn't pick up more when I had the chance.

The benefit is the same, its just a matter of convenience. Our 4" is designed to be very portable and travel size so it really depends on what your needs and wants are. Both will do the same and give you the same benefits.

Ugghhh, The opportunists have raised the TX to $500+ for a new unit which just means an unopened unit. I was looking at netbooks but the smallest is still 3lbs+. It does all the TX does and then some (movies on cards, wifi, browser, key entry...) but it's apples and oranges since these are just micro-laptops instead of PDA alternatives.Have any of you tried other brand handhelds? Can any owners put in their 2cents for comparison?

I had the exact same thought. I combed through the product description and it says this: "Weighs only 2.7 lbs. and measures just 0.6" thin For lightweight portability." So this is actually a VERY portable device. I'm actually thinking of getting this because it has everything I need (64GB SSD, no CD drive, good battery life, and a decent keyboard. Edit: UGH the software ruins this for me. Specs are A+ around the board until I realize that it's Windows RT, meaning that you can only install apps from the Windows Store, and you can't install desktop programs (that would work on a Windows 7 laptop, for instance).

I am looking for something lighter than a notebook to travel with that I can watch movies on, read books on as well as access the internet from time to time. Any ideas? Please help. Thanks!

Sounds like you've already gotten the right answer and have ordered this model. Just to reassure you, I have had this Zenbook for about 6 months (I am a diligent review reader before making a purchase) and have been extremely happy with it. It is very light, sleek, and quick. The battery is respectable and I appreciate that it stays cooler than any laptop I've ever had, which makes laptop use possible without the need for leg protection. I, too, wanted to stick with Win7. I think you will like it.

I looked everywhere for an official weight but couldn't find one. It is very light to carry around campus, maybe a few pounds or so. Also, the power cord is quite light - it is a single unit with a small plug (but good length). It is definitely as portable as computers go. If I can find an official weight, I'll let you know.

HP ProBook 4530s XU015UT 15.6" LED Notebook (2.1 GHz Intel Core i3-2310M Dual-Core Processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, DVD+/-RW SuperMulti DL LightScribe, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) This computer will be more than adequate for journaling. The screen is, more or less, the industry standard size (15.6 inches). A larger screen will make the laptop heavier and make the battery run down faster. This laptop is a moderate to heavy-weight machine. It has relatively new electronics in it (Intel core i3 processor, Bluetooth 3.0,HD screen, and a USB 3.0 port) It also has a nine cell battery which will give you plenty of time to journal without having to recharge the battery. For a first laptop, this is a little pricey, but worth every penny. If you have cash concerns, you might want to start off with a Netbook. It is smaller (10.1 inch screen) and does not have a DVD/CD drive in it. They are slower and they run around $299. A Netbook is good for journaling, Internet, and email, but it does have a slightly smaller keyboard. Over all, If you have the money to spare, and you don't buy this computer, you may kick yourself later when you do decide to buy a laptop. I hope this helped.

Hello Aaron. I wish I have the Glidecam to compare both units. I can tell you the Opteka works and do good videos. If you read the reviews on other brands, you'll see lot of complains on setup and quality. Well, that is not a problem with this unit. Setup is really easy and the quality is pretty decent. My "concern" is that it's heavy and after some time, you will feel the weight. I wish Opteka could replace some parts and use aluminum to make it a "perfect" unit (price v/s quality). Now, keep on mind this is for fun... I tried on some parties and all my friends got in love with the unit. BUT if you want to make some money and do it professional, then you'll need to pay more. I hope this helps....
