Smallest Notebook Computers

Japan’s Fujitsu new Lifebook U laptop is the world’s tiniest. This 1.2 lb working miniature has an 800 Mhz processor, a 5.6″ LCD, and it runs Windows Vista. Like the Flybook, the Lifebook has a swiveling touch screen. There’s also a fingerprint sensor and wifi.

This OQO 02 weighs under a pound, can also run Vista, and has built-in broadband WWAN (via Sprint’s or Verizon’s EVDO services), Bluetooth, and a faster 1.5 Ghz processor with the screen size at around 5″.

The FlipStart is slightly heavier than the Fujitsu, weighing a pound and a half. It consists of 1.1 Ghz pentium M CPU, runs Vista, and has wifi, Bluetooth, and integrated EVDO. There’s a built-in camera for v-conferencing, and a little trackpad, just like on a full-size notebook. There’s also a jog dial and touch stick. It has the highest rated battery time of about three and a half hours.
