The WinBook T230's balance of weight and screen size makes it an easy notebook to carry around, and it is reasonably priced at $1299 (as of May 18, 2006). It has a large hard drive, too. Unfortunately, short battery life prevents it from being the perfect travel companion. This handsome black-and-silver notebook with hidden hinges is a compact 12.95 inches wide by 10.75 inches deep by 1 inch thick. Our test unit weighed 5.4 pounds and sported a 14.1-inch WXGA screen with 1280-by-768-pixel resolution; it's big enough for most types of work while still being small enough to open easily on an airline tray. The unit's 120GB hard drive is the second-largest available for notebooks (160GB is tops).
