PC Magazine reviews Toughbook W4 notebook and writes: “The W4 weighs just 2.8 pounds, measures 1.7 by 10.6 by 8.3 inches, and looks like your typical ultraportable with a 12-inch screen.

The dimensions are similar to those of the Lenovo ThinkPad X41 (0.8 by10.5 by 8.3), and amazingly, the W4 weighs 0.4 pounds less despite having an internal optical drive (the X41 does not).

The 2.7-pound Sony VAIO VGN-TX670P is actually the lightest ultraportable we’ve seen, but it also has a smaller, 11.1-inch screen. Panasonic favors a non-widescreen format in its Toughbooks.

The screen is bright under all conditions yet retains the antiglare film, making it more suitable for Microsoft Word and e-mail than for movies. This is not to say that you can’t watch movies; it’s just not as movie-friendly as, say, the brighter widescreen of the Sony VGN-TX670P.”
