That's cool - any idea what upping the memory, processor and HD would do to the weight?

I looked at the thinkpad, but it always seems sort of ugly and heavy.

the sentia's have the centrino processors, i think they all way the same,its only the differant hard drives that weigh differant amounts (i believe)

i think ram only effects the wieght if you get 2 DIMMs

it starts at 3.85 pounds

Well, frontrunner at the moment for me is a Sony T270.

The Dells in the office are OK, although I'm not too keen on the screen. They seem a little less bright, and maybe even a little blurry. Althought maybe its just my eyes.

Thinkpad is not heavy at all. Any other laptop with similar specs is way way way way heavier.

Sony is overpriced and underqualified. Go with a Dell. If you aren't paying for it, go with an IBM.

Whoops I was looking at the T series, I've just seen the X series.

I love my Dell 700m. It's very small and light and works for everything I need it for. No problems at all.

edit: I had a vaio previously (one of the small models). It was also very nice, but my 700m has more memory, is faster, etc. AND the 700m has an internal DVD at about the same weight.
