I really want one of these but it's hella expensive. I have tried looking for other small PC laptops, but I can't seem to find any at all really.

The Fujisu P1000s are also very small, but they use the Transmeta Crusoe processor.

good website with forum on P series.



Stay away from the Crusoe if you will be doing most anything CPU intensive or appreciate speed at all. Transmeta will be taking another try at it soon with their new proc... we will see how that goes.

You want small, get the IBM X-series. I have X24, and I absolutely love it!!!
