Top 10 best ultra-portable laptops looks like top 3 ultra-portable laptops in hall of mirrors

PC World published a considered and reasonable list of the 10 best ultra-portable laptops. The funny part is that most of them all look identical even today: this list could make for a pretty funny retrospective in 20 years. Warning! One of them comes in light gray.

wow, i you are right, they DO all look the same. therefore, all Ultra-Portable Laptops are dead to me unless they are fused to RC cars and or RC trucks. or maybe an RC helicopter or RC boat.

You didn't put those that are in silver in your comparison, together with the fact that all of them pretty much have different backs - combined with the fact that the MacBook Pro would also blend well in this indistinguishable mess, just shows how thin and biased your journalism is.

And the one at the bottom left corner, possibly a Toshiba, is clearly shiny-er than the rest. Let's all be up front about how much we like shiny things!

And did the article that the post is referring to have pictures of the back of any of the laptops? Did the article mention the MacBook Pro?
