The lightweight Toshiba Satellite U205-S5044 notebook described by the editors as the "most powerful 12-inch laptop we've come across" has been reviewed over at ZDNet. 'The Toshiba Satellite U205-S5044 is a little powerhouse of a laptop. It features the same chassis as the U205-S5022 model we reviewed earlier in the year, which straddles the line between ultraportable and thin-and-light, but underneath its hood the U205-S5044 now boasts a Core 2 Duo processor, a rarity among laptops of its size. Thanks in part to its Core 2 Duo T7200 chip and 2GB of memory, it's the fastest 12-inch laptop we've tested to date. If not for the tiny touch pad, we'd say the $1,599 Toshiba Satellite U205-S5044 is the perfect laptop for users looking for a fully featured, powerful laptop that's still small and light enough for daily travel.

The Satellite U205-S5044 is one of the chunkier laptops you'll find with a 12.1-inch wide-screen display. It measures 11.6 inches wide, 8.7 inches deep, and a somewhat portly 1.5 inches thick. By comparison, a similarly sized Acer Ferrari 1004WTMi is less than an inch thick, and Apple's 13.3-inch MacBook is an inch thick. The Fujitsu LifeBook T4215 is closer in size and thickness to the U205-S5044, but the LifeBook weighs about half a pound more. At 4.2 pounds, the U205-S5044 feels lighter than you'd expect. With its AC adapter, the total travel weight is 5.1 pounds. '
