I have a amd64 hp zv5000 2gb ram 100gb disk 15.4' screen- It nice on desk top but at 4 kilos it not fun to travel with and unusable in coach on the airplane if the seat ahead is leaned back. The megabook s270 (upgraded to 2gb and 100gb drive) is perfect for my travel needs. But they are not for sale in the USA yet.

15" mininum, for me and super long battery life.

I mainly use my notebook for work away from office/home. My Toshiba 266 PII with 512 L2 cache and W98 still serves me well.

is it me, or does 12.1" TFT screen seem small?
