If you want a portable computer that's actually portable -- stick it in a big coat pocket, fanny pack or handbag portable -- then there are few other options. You will have to accept some compromises: A single PCMCIA slot. A 1024-by-480 screen. A keyboard barely large enough to use for touch typing (or not, depending on the size of your hands). No internal CD or Floppy drive.
But if you can live with the compromises, the VAIO PictureBook should not disappoint. You can see the specs here of the current US model. Basically it has a processor about as fast as a 533MHz Crusoe processor, 12GB hard drive, USB, monitor and TV out, 8MB of video memory, 112MB of usable RAM. It also has a still/video camera mounted in the top which can be rotated to look in front of the computer or at the user. It comes with Windows Me, but I and others have installed Linux and some have installed Windows 2000 on it.
If you want to get a feel for how big it is, and there's not a store with one in your area, rent the movie Godzilla 2000. It has a PictureBook (an earlier model, but still the same size) which gets extensive screentime. It also appears (in a much smaller part) in the movie Charlie's Angels. You can also download and print the keyboard: Dynamism has an Accurate printable PDF of a C1VE Keyboard. Please download it only once so they don't yank the file.
Bonus -> Free external CD Drive! hurry!
