The Lifebook U7310 is a compact 13.3-inch ultraportable that's both lightweight and solidly built. Battery life is disappointing, but at least the battery is removable.

The One Laptop per Child scheme has announced that it will make its ruggedised laptops available in the US for a limited time period.
A British website is reporting that Apple will launch a 15-inch version of the MacBook Air as soon as April, according to a source in the MacBook accessories market.
The third-generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon is thin, light and eminently portable, while also being sturdily built and providing a high-quality display that's big enough to do serious work on. That's quite an achievement.
It's not exactly a $35 pipe dream, but this is starting to sound an awful lot like OLPC, circa 2006.
I'm on the road for a few weeks, and switching from Google Chrome to the stock browsers on my laptops has resulted in a pleasant surprise.
This week I received some flack from readers for favoring Intel's Classmate PC distribution model over OLPC's, not just because I'm apparently a Wintel devotee (despite my advocacy and daily use of Linux), but also because of the power consumption differences between the two models. One reader wrote:50% of the world's children (1 billion) have no electricity at home.
A new kind of laptop, the SOL, is being designed for the great outdoors and it's powered by sunlight and it will be running Linux.
It's difficult to fault the Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme on toughness grounds. However, you're unlikely to get day-long battery life from the entry-level configuration with the standard 6-cell battery.
If you're attracted by a large screen and a lightweight chassis, and your workloads aren't too demanding, the LG Gram 17 (2020) should fit the bill nicely.
