We have Dell lap tops. heavier than a brick and hard on shoulder.

Like the airbook. MIS guy at my office has one and its really light and he likes it a lot. plugs in a full size monitor, keyboard and wireless mouse and he's a one happy camper.

I just bought ASUS Eee900 book. it weighs in around 2pounds. Fits in my purse its about 9" by about 6" comes with solid state disk powers up really fast. and it has built in WiFI, ethernet, USB ports, SD memory ard reader, web cam. Screen is wide enough so I can pop open a regular document at full size and have to only scroll down to read the whole page.

And its only $530.00. getting a $100 rebate cause I bought it before Aug. 31. try newegg and read other feedback.

Oh you can get it either Linux or XP operating system. I went with Linux. since its faster boot and I get open office, which can read and write microsoft douments, drawings, spread sheets.

so my vote is for mac airbook and asus Eee900 book. Asus also have 2G and 4G model. the screen is slightly smaller but its only $300 to $400.00
