Once upon a time you could have a regular laptop or you could pay a whole lot more and get an ultraportable one. Now, Intel is pushing ultrabooks, HP has just thrown down the "Sleekbook" and only Apple is really making any headway, not even bothering to class the MacBook Air as anything other than a notebook. HP is pushing the Sleekbook name - featuring for the first time on 14- and 15.6-inch ENVY models unveiled today - as, it seems, a counter-branding attempt that gives the firm more flexibility in its hardware decisions.

HP Sleekbook muddies the Ultrabook waters
Tiny Nano-SIM could enable iPhone 5 come 2012
Micro-SIMs like those found in the iPhone 4S, Nokia Lumia 800 and iPad 2 are still in the minority, but soon an even smaller Subscriber Identity Module might be worming its way inside our phones. SIM card manufacturer Giesecke & Devrient has revealed its plans for the Nano-SIM, a cellphone chip that's a third smaller again than the Micro-SIM, along with being 15-percent thinner, and could open the door to even more compact smartphones or embedded SIM systems as Apple is believed to be chasing.

MacBook Air 11-inch GelaSkin Review and Hands-On (with Bonus iPod Touch Review!)
So we were contacted by no less than GelaSkins themselves to see if we’d like to take a look at their brand new MacBook Air protective skins. What did we say? Of COURSE we’d like to take a peek. So they did indeed let us take a peek, and since I just happen to have had a brand new MacBook Air 11″ right here to go with my ancient iPod Touch 2nd gen, I decided to grab a skin for both. For the iPod Touch 2nd gen I decided to go with a massively complex London illustration by my favorite group of pixel illustrators in the world: eboy! Then for the MacBook Air 11-inch, I decided to take the DIY route and have them print my own design.
Toshiba Portégé R600 Review
Toshiba may not have the fashionable appeal of Apple, nor the solid reputation of Lenovo, but they do know how to push the envelope. Their Portégé series of ultraportables is already slim, and was the first to offer a 128GB SSD back in 2008; now it’s the first, in the shape of the Portégé R600, to offer a 512GB SSD. Legitimate business tool or shallow one-upmanship? SlashGear decided to find out.
MSI X-Slim X340 Air-esque envelope video
Apple's MacBook Air envelope advert is probably one of the most iconic pieces of ultraportable branding from the past few years, and it set a bar that new notebooks love to take pot-shots at. Given the striking similarity between the Air and MSI's X-Slim X340, it seems all too appropriate that the 13-inch notebook should try an envelope test of its own.

MacBook Air Review: it’s a different beast inside out
When the MacBook Air first launched, nobody could deny it was physically impressive. Well under an inch thick, it was a visual delight to anybody who saw it. Ironically, any disappointment was saved for the owners themselves: the payoff for those market-besting dimensions was underpowered components and the tendency to overheat. Now, Apple have freshly inflated the Air with new technology, in fact just about everything down to the memory is new. Second time around, have they created the ultimate ultraportable?
MacBook Mini mod gives netbook mistaken identity
The glowing logo, the sleek curves - could it be anything other than a new Apple notebook? Well yes, actually, it could: the steady-handsmanship of a German modder called Florian Gotz, it's really a Medion Akoya Mini E1210 (a rebadged MSI Wind ) with an Apple logo cut out with a Dremel.
