Here at my office, there are a lot of D420s (12.1" notebook) and D520s (14.1" notebooks) around and they seem to be popular as a great lightweight PC. The problem is the smaller you go, the more expensive they will be. Dell Outlet has one D520 with 1 GB of memory for $750.
My work laptop is a D810, and I love it. It's 15.4", but it's really not bad. I'm able to tote it to and from work with no problems. However, I could see wanting something smaller...

We have those here too and I'll tell you the problem with those is that they don't have optical drives built-in. Basically you have to have an external optical drive or a dock.

Well that's a bitch..hmm I might have to reconsider going small(please refrain from the phallic jokes).

I mean you CAN get the little add-on piece that mounts to the laptop, but all that does it make the weight the same as the higher weight models.

12" means a smaller keyboard. i love my 17", but i don't really move it much at all.
