Product Category: Laptop
Manufacturer: Fujitsu
Where to Buy: Discontinued, replaced by the P7000 series
Specifications: 10.3" x 7.8" x 1.6" @ 3.85 lbs., 10.6" WXGA (1280x768) TFT LCD Display and Intel Extreme2 Graphics with 64MB Shared Memory, Realtek ALC202 Audio.

Pros:

• Impressively small size, great design;
  
• Amazing battery life;
  
• Full featured laptop with all the ports you need.

Cons:

• Buggy SpeedStep implementation;
  
• Speakers are too quiet;
  
• Painfully slow memory card slots.

Summary:
The Fujitsu P5010D is the laptop I've used for the past year, and it's both a powerful (for it's size) workhorse, and a great mobile tool. The small size allows me to use comfortably anywhere from my bed to an air plane seat, something that a 15" wide screen laptop can't accomplish with such ease. The screen is absolutely fantastic, the wireless is solid, and I only have a few quibbles. This notebook simply rocks.
