i vowed i would never purchase a gateway system...but i recanted when i played with this at a friends house.
http://products.gateway.com/prod…
.95" thick.
14.1" screen...i up'd the ram and hd on my own...but the system is decent stock.
although, mine runs gentoo linux, not windows.
before that i was a faithfull ibm thinkpad 600x user. small, protable, hard case.
:)
if i had the money i would have purchased the 12" powerbook to run linux on...but it was a bit more than what i paid for the gateway system (i have connections).

note, this still weighs a bit more than i like. but you don't get much lighter than 4 pounds....with all the hardware that goes into systems now.

i'm very picky about notebooks.
i look for several things when buying...strength of display casing is one of the key features.
if you can grab the display and twist it and see *waves* in the screen...it is too weak for me.
:)
this one is actually built pretty solid...and it has metal accents (logo, powerbutton, extra buttons and caps)...so it's nice and elegant in a simple way.
the only downside is the lack of a badass video card...but, hey, not many notebooks have those anyway.
