Dell are really a little behind with things at the moment - like most of them have really outdated graphic chips! And they're heavy!
I recently bought an
ASUS W3N which would match your requirements and price bracket if you shop around - nice and light (a little over 2 kgs), small power supply (light!), good 14 inch
widescreen, wifi, 512 RAM (enough for most applications except Photoshop - but then I'm using Paintshop Pro), sturdy case, good reputation backed up by a
global 2-year warranty! Only thing I don't like: shitty speakers and sound card - not good enough to use the DVD player for movies.
Toshiba M45 is another one with similar specs and good Harman-Kordan speakers, but I didn't like their warranty terms (and dubious reputation re. harddisk failures).
A good place to check is
