HP's nc2400 ultra-portable notebook

I still don't like notebooks with 12.1-inch screens to be dubbed "ultra-portables", but I'll go with it for now. I guess this means my 17-month old M205 Tablet PC is an ultra-portable too? Anyway, the nc2400 is a nice, svelte package from HP. The base model costs $1,599 and features the following for mobile computing:

• Weight of 2.8 pounds
• 1.2 GHz Intel Core Solo ULV
• 40 GB, 4200 RPM hard drive
• 512 MB of 533 MHz RAM
• DVD/CD-RW drive
• WXGA screen resolution
• Integrated Intel Graphics (GMA 950)
• Dimensions of 8.38 x 11.1 x .976 in.

What is wrong with calling a 12" screen an ultra-portable notebook? Don't forget the notebook part and don't confuse it with Tablet. I know I don't have to tell you the difference between a tablet and a notebook. It also isn't a ultra-portable device.

I agree, without the word notebook it isn't very ultra-portable.

Oh come on hp, do a tablet version of this!
How cool would a 12inch widescreen tablet for under 1.5kg be? They even do one without a dvdrw.

You know it makes sense!
