I'm looking for a lightweight laptop (under 2 KG or preferable 1.5 KG) thats not too hard on the pocket. I was thinking of a Sony VAIO but I wanted to know if I have any better and/or cheaper options.

A Core 2 Duo or similar processor with 2gigs RAM should be good; and the basics like a DVD writer, WiFi and an inbuilt webcam.

Has anyone come across websites that let you run such parametric computer searches?

I don't have a specific recommendation of a computer, but Newegg.com lets you search by weight.

  • They have an excellent "power" search that lets you define every conceivable parameter. see http://www.newegg.com/Product/PowerSearch.aspx?Submit=Property&N=2034940032&SubCategory=32&GASearch=1 – Robin Rodricks Jul 23 '09 at 16:20
  • Yep, that's where I found the weight option. – jtbandes Jul 23 '09 at 18:53

I don't know of one off-hand, but Notebook Review will allow you to perform a search to find the laptop that you're looking for.

  • X models are not so cheap, but you might consider second hand. I own an X61 (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X61) and I'm very happy with ! Here's some good information about X Series :http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X_Series – paulgreg Jul 22 '09 at 09:00

If one is willing to take a laptop without a DVD writer, you can get a Macbook Air for just 1000 dollars plus tax. Also, there is a drive accessory for it however i am unsure what type of drive it is,

The 13inch Macbook weights 2.04kg. Although there are probably cheaper and lighter alternatives out there, the chassis for the Macbook is aluminium, so this might have to be a good contender
