Seagate Technology, the industry's largest producer of hard drives, has finally started shipping its first batch of hybrid hard drives for notebook PCs.
SanDisk wants to replace the hard drive in notebooks with flash memory, a swap that it says will make thin laptops faster and more reliable.
Microsoft has denied Sony's claim that the current release of Vista supports neither Intel's Turbo Memory technology nor hybrid hard drives.
New hardware on show at CeBIT in Germany this year includes a Windows version of a low-power laptop and a notebook designed for air travel.
The Dell Inspiron Mini 12 is a good size and features lots of storage, but is hampered by its sluggish performance and inability to stay on your lap.
Acer's latest offering definitely fits within the desktop replacement category; it's big, has a decent processor and plenty of memory, disk space and connectivity options, but it also comes with a price-tag to match.

The VGNBZ15GN is Sony's latest business laptop in the VAIO range, and includes the new Centrino 2 platform. A heavy machine with strong performance, but let down by poor battery life.
