Lightweight desktop replacement within budget.

I've got a laptop and a desktop, both of which are showing their age. I'd like to get a replacement for both.

It should have:

A decent lifespan for battery.
Be able to play the occasional game.
weigh less than 5 lbs all in.
have a dvd writing capability
And I don't want to pay more than 2500 US.
I'd like integrated camera and mike.
A good size hard drive and at 2 mb of ram.
Reliability with a good warranty.

I'm not a heavy graphics user...more of an excel person. A docking station would be great if available, but not necessary.

I've looked at the vaios and the HPs online. The sz (and I read the long thread on this one) looks pricey. The Hps look interesting for their price point.

I live in Honduras so need to buy one online to be picked up on my next trip to the US.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

thanks,

Lorna
