Review: Micro Express NP6260 Rugged UltraLite - CNET

CNET have reviewed the "lightweight" Micro Express NP6260 Rugged UltraLite laptop. 'The magnesium-alloy chassis gives the NP6260 Rugged UltraLite a sturdy feel, but to the untrained eye, the laptop's lightweight silver body looks like plastic--almost like a toy laptop. But magnesium is both lightweight and sturdy, so we wouldn't be too concerned about putting this system through the rigors of the road. It's worth noting that while it has the word "rugged" in its name, the NP6260 is not a truly rugged or semi-rugged laptop in the sense of a Panasonic Toughbook or the Itronix Hummer, so liquid spills and 15-foot drops aren't recommended.

When you pick it up, the NP6260 Rugged UltraLite feels even lighter than you'd expect from a system that measures only 11.2 inches wide, 9.5 inches deep, and 1.25 inches thick. Without the A/C adapter, the NP6260 is 2.8 pounds (3.7 pounds with the adapter), a good deal lighter than other ultraportables from Dell and Gateway. The lighter weight is especially impressive, because the system includes a built-in DVD burner. Optical drives are rare in ultraportable laptops, especially in those at the very bottom of the weight scale. '
