The Samsung NP-Q35 just about fits into the ultra-portable category, coming in at under 1.9kg (4lb 2.5oz) including the optical drive. Apart from the battery protruding at the back, this notebook is the size of a sheet of A4 paper. The Q35 was announced in March 2006 as the successor to the Q30 with the only refresh since then being a CPU upgrade to the Core 2 Duo series. There are two current versions of the Q35: The silver one with the T7200 CPU and 120GB HDD, and the red one with the T5600 and 100GB HDD, which is less expensive. (At the time of writing this review, one site is listing another version of the silver Q35 with the T5200 CPU and Vista, so this may be yet another version). If you must have a notebook with a built-in microphone then the Q35 is not for you: Unusually, the Q35 does not have one.
