If high-portability is something you require of a notebook, then the Compaq Presario B1973TU will suit your needs well. Indeed, it's a lightweight notebook (1.9kg without its power supply) with a 12.1in screen, yet it has a built in optical drive. However, if you need some grunt and plenty of battery life to match the portable size, then this notebook will disappoint.
The B1973TU has 1GB of DDR2 RAM, which is a fair offering, but the trend is towards a 2GB starting point for notebooks that are similarly priced. As a business machine running Windows Vista Business edition, it's no surprise that it uses a basic ATI 200M graphics chip, which is fine for everyday applications, but it won't provide fast 3-D performance. A 160GB hard drive is installed and the optical drive is a DVD re-writer with dual-layer support.
