I own a Panasonic W2. Have travelled extensively. 12". XGA weighs only 2.8 lbs. Keyboard is nice and easy, except for the "End" key (requires you press the Function Key).


Recently got a Vaio TX (13", 1366x768, 2.8lbs). Very nice looking, slick machine. Keyboard is terrible(Home,End,Page Up/Down) and there is also a noisy fan. (Bought a 3 Year Onsite Service Plan plus Accidental Damage Protection for Notebooks since I am sure it will not last all my travel bumps)

Both machines harrdrive are 4200RPM. The Panasonic has 40GB, the sony has 60GB. In US you can get them from many online retailers.
