More and more people want to be able to take their laptop wherever they go, be it out on the road, to work, on holiday or to school or college.

Here at Laptops Direct we realise that portability is an increasingly important criteria in choosing a machine. We know you want a machine that can be taken everywhere easily, without sacrificing performance and usability.

The laptops in this section all come in at under 2kg in weight

This also includes the newer ultraportable mini notebooks like the Asus EEE PC, Acer Aspire ONE and MSI Wind. These are becoming very popular and are more commonly know as "sub-notebooks" or "netbooks". Typically weighing in at between 1kg  and 1.5 kg, they are less powerful than full size laptop and don't have optical drives but can easily handle internet browsing, email and basic office tasks. They also make ideal docking stations for digital cameras.
