2.6 kg is hardly light weight though is it.
You could get a 13 inch or 11 inch notebook, minus the optical drive
weighing half that. I'm currently using a neat little hp notebook which is
just such a spec, couple of years old so not likely to be a good buy right
now and has taken a bit of configuring to get the graphics card drivers
working nicely with the screenreader but it has no touch sensitive buttons,
has physical volume mute, wireless and power buttons, and doesn't have the
wrist pad touch panel either so lots in it's favour.

Hi Denis,
It's not usually hard disk capacity that suffers, but things like
DVD/CD drives, which in turn help keep the overall size down..
I've got a Toshiba Satellite T130 which has 2 GB of memory (and can
take 1GB more), a 256 GB hard drive, wireless, Bluetooth and even a
web cam, Windows 7 Premium, and weighs just over 3 pounds.
And it cost just under £400 including VAT.
George.

Hello All,
Could anyone with experience of notebooks weighing a few pounds please
recommend one?
I possess a Samsung N120 and like it a lot but it is still too heavy
for me
to tote around and use on the lap for long.
Presumably you have to sacrifice hard disk memory for the lower
weight?
Memory is important as I am a user of a number of client software
programmes
and Jaws etc. I would like a notebook to ensure the keys are large
enough.
Regards,
Denis
