Are you considering an ultra-mobile PC this holiday season? If so, then I highly recommend you check out the 11,000 word, 28-page Ultra Mobile Computing Buyer's Guide put together by the biggest fan of UMPCs I have ever seen, Steve "Chippy" Paine.

This trip to San Francisco is going very well and it has reinforced something I've known for some time. A convertible notebook like the HP 2710p I am using is the perfect traveling companion for a number of reasons. The 2710p is as thin and light as any full-sized notebook...
