In this session we will talk about portable divx players and laptops. Let's start talking about portable players. I suggest to look the portable solutions recommended from divx.com here
I personally made an reserch and i found out these portable solutions that support all the divx6 standards. Unfortunatelly not all of them are available internationally so make sure that your country is supported :) An important factor buying this kind of devices is the battery life duration.

Now we will talk about laptop solutions. Generally all the laptops that are in the market today support divx with the appropriate codecs divx/xvid . So from technical point of view all the laptops support divx/xvid video files. We will show you some of them that have really long battery life. This factor is the most important for an portable device. I also recommend you laptops with pentium m (centrino) or turion cpus.
On slashdot there is an useful article about the battery life
