The Sager NP6260 ultraportable laptop manages to cram a 12.1" screen and DVD burner in to a chassis that weighs just 2.8lbs. The laptop sports a 1.2GHZ Core Solo processor, FireWire, a media card reader, fingerprint reader, 3 USB 2.0 ports, a PCMCIA type II card slot and it can be expanded with up to 1.5GB of ram. The 12 inch screen isn't widescreen, and we wish that the NP6260 was a bit more stylish, but its price tag makes you want to give it a second look since it is one of the few sub 3 pound notebooks that retails for less than $1500. The laptop is available in 2 configurations, a $1280 config that includes a 1 year warranty, 512mb of ram and a 80GB hard drive, and a pricier $1,637 config that comes with 1GB of ram, a 100GB hard drive, and a 3 year warranty. In case you're digging this laptop but are a bit weary about the quality of the company behind it, Notebook Review has a positive review of the NP6260.

While the 1.46GHZ Celeron processor in the new Medion Woolworths Notebook doesn't make it very alluring, the fact that you can create your own laptop cover for it is really cool.

Now if only they would pump out some more powerful laptops with customizable covers. Then again, maybe some images are better left suited just as desktop wallpapers...

Oddly enough we can't find a product page for either of these. Has anyone heard of these or seen them in person? The X53 looks pretty good from the one ...

A while back we posted about the Samsung X1 Laptop that weighs just 3.7 pounds, has a 14 inch Widescreen, a whopping 14 hour battery life, and a built-in optical drive. HardwareZone has an in-depth review of this ultra-slim beauty. Though it's not out in the U.S., and it probably never will be, the X1 is available to purchase from Dynamism.com for $2499. It is a shame though because that price almost seems worth it, if not for its ergonomically-challenged keyboard.
