It has a lot of juice, I know, but it's got the PCMCIA slot, and I trust HPs.<br />
<br />
But, I would recommend you to wait on this question to be answered by more than just me, so that you could make a better decision

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am looking to purchase a small/travel sized laptop or netbook. I will be using this for some light internet surfing as well as writing news articles/offline blog postings. I will not need much in the way of powerful hardware specs due to the nature of the way I will be using it. I prefer Windows XP or Vista, but I will be fine with Ubuntu or another similar desktop Linux build. I do, however, require the following:<br />
<br />
1) The screen size be a MAXIMUM of 13.3&quot;. Max resolultion is negligible.<br />
2) There must be a PCMCIA slot so I can use my Verizon Wireless Internet expansion card.<br />
3) Price be no more than $500 (although this is negotiable)<br />
<br />
Netbooks fit my bill (such as the EEE PC or Dell Inspiron Mini), but the problem is that none of these have a built in PCMCIA card because of their small size.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Travel/portable laptop purchase suggestion

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Laptops Notebooks

A tablet computer is a mobile computer with a touchscreen display, circuitry, and battery in a single device. Tablets come equipped with sensors, including cameras, a microphone, and an accelerometer, and the touchscreen display uses the recognition of finger or stylus gestures replacing the usage of the mouse and keyboard. They usually feature on-screen, pop-up virtual keyboards for typing. Tablets may include physical buttons for basic features such as speaker volume and power, and ports for network communications and battery charging. Tablets are typically larger than smartphones or personal digital assistants.
