I need to trade in my Vaio because it's just too damn heavy. I carry my laptop around with me all day and often with a tool box so I'm looking for light - very light. Machine doesn't need to be mega powerful but it needs to be able to run all of Office Professional easily including Visio and Powerpoint. Prefer to have a DVD writer.

So far I'm down to the Sony Vaio T series, or an Acer 3002, or maybe even a 12" Mac G4.
The SOny has it on features, the Acer has it on price but the DVD is external and the Mac is just nice and not too bad a price.

Has anyone any experience with Ultra portables?? recommendations.

Vaio R505 was one of the best ultra's I ever owned.

Im looking for a new laptop. I like the ruggedness of the IBMs but Ive also been eyeing stuff that can handle games from time to time.

Some of the HPs look good...but heavy.

Lepaul check out alienware, I have hear great things about there laptops, I would never recomend a hp laptop to anyone, there models the last few years are really bad
