I've been looking around for one and it seems sony makes some pretty small laptops. 12 inch screens, forgot model numbers, but battery life isn't that hot.. prices are in your range though.

Sony Vaio

Looks nice, we were gonna get that but didnt, anything lighter with more juice... i'll loook some more

nope there are more powerful versions of the same notebook, and you can buy a 2nd battery i think. As for lighter, yes but that brings you down to a 10 inch screen, its too much of a trade off at that level.

The Dell Latitude LS (their slim line) is a REALLY nice laptop. I've used it first hand. I think right now the fastest you can get is a P3 500 and the screen is 12inch, but it's very very sleek.

I would buy another dell, that ls looks pretty good, btw do you have one ? They have a 8x dvd but the spec says 6x dvd in external, is the 8x generally external ? And is the battery added into the 3.5lb package ? Thanks

I would be really surprised if the dvd was internal on a 3lb notebook

Yeah i check, external everything...
