Good light weight laptop... Thinkpads?
 

Are the IBM Thinkpads the best route to go for a light weight laptop? Let me know what brands you've had good or bad experience with.

I'm looking for a very lightweight laptop as well, but I want a Dell (just for their onsite warranties).

Dell 700M Series

Do you have one? Do you like it?

what kinda weight is it? hows the battery life?

my 700m is 4.2lbs and has a battery life of 4.5hrs, fully charged. (I purchased the larger, 7 cell battery upgrade).

Very nice. 4.5 hours and that light is pretty good.

Thx.

my sis has one, its light, does the trick.. small screen for long time staring

check out dell's business latitude notebooks for even smaller stuff

the new Inspiron 9400 multimedia powerhouse weighs only 7.94 lbs.

thinkpads are the shit IMHO. Had a number of em. Have given all 3 of them away after i have gotten a new one. Each person still is using the one i've given them. :thumbsup

under 5 lbs is good.

That 4.2 lbs is with the larger 7 cell battery or the standard?
