I have been trying to find a notebook for quite some time. However, I cannot make up my mind which one to get. Or maybe because my expectations are unrealistic. The type of notebook I want has to be light, with a small screen (preferably twelve inch or less), internal modem with wireless broadband so I need not fix anything externally, USB port, CD/DVD Player and reader, Windows XP Professional and lots of memory space.
In other words, I want something that is easily portable, and I can surf the net, chat, blog, email, write articles, do spreadsheets, watch movies, listen to music, upload photos, play games, bring overseas, quick download and upload time and with a space big enough to store all the big music, movie and game files. All in one, without needing to fix any external drives or accessories. Asking for the sky right?
So far, all the laptops I have come across seem impressive, but since I am not a computer person, I am not sure if there is any requirements or specifications that do not meet. These are the few laptops I have shortlisted :
1. Dell M1210
2. Dell Latitude D420
3. Sony VAIO C (the pink or white one)
4. Toshiba Portege M300
5. Toshiba Portege R200
6. Apple MacBook (the white one)
7. Acer Ferrari 1000
8. Compaq Presario B1914(TU)
9. HP Compaq nc2400 Business (RA724PA)
10. Fujitsu LifeBook P7210
11. Fujitsu LifeBook P1610
12. Fujitsu LifeBook P1510
13. IBM ThinkPad X60
Cost is a factor as well. It seems like the smaller the laptop is, the more expensive it is. However, if I find one that fits all my specifications, then I will get it, irregardless of the cost! Hopefully I can make the SITEX exhibition to check out the products available!

I have an Averatec notebook. It is small (1.2" thick with a 12" display) and light (if you thing 4.3lbs is light).
What I have noticed about notebooks is that they are more sluggish than desktops because the hard drive is slower.
If possible, I would recommend you try them out. I find the smaller keyboard seriously confining for real work (so I have an external keyboard).
A dual processor laptop will be more responsive than a single processor.
Averatec? Don't think we have this brand here. Is the software by Microsoft or Macintosh? The laptops here all run on dual processor, no longer single processors.
I think they are a small American company. At the time, they had the lowest priced notebook (and the smallest - I was not looking at a huge one). I bought it almost 3 years ago, so it is slightly behind the technology curve.
I see. I don't think I can find it locally then, as Japanese products is more popular in this region.
