Vote for: What is the lightest tablet computer?
tablet computing | May 31st, 2010 | by Owen Ferguson
The simple dry weight of a device is not the only thing to consider when trying to decide which device to buy. For example, some very light devices require frequent battery replacement to remain in a functional state. Some devices require extra accessories and power adapters that increase the total weight you have to lug around. Which of these tablets weighs the least, all in?

It's supposed to run 4 hours on a 2100mah battery, it loads websites slower than a more expensive computer, but it can be made for only $65 in the Chinese factories when ordered by big resellers in large quantities.
