Searching for this laptop...

[DWW]

DISCLAIMER: I think this falls into both general hardware and laptop forums. Since this forum has a wider audience I've posted it here. If admin sees fit its fine to move it to laptop section.

Basically what I am looking for:

VERY small form factor if possible. Thin, narrow, lightweight (MAX 5 pounds/2.3 KG) and a somewhat sturdy casing (some metal/alloy would be a cool bonus) are what I want.
Video can be onboard 2 meg for all I care (its not for games).
Display (I'd go for as small as 8" or even 6" if need be... uxga, svga, wxga i dont know the diff as long as console text is readable)
No optical/floppy drives (cdrw/cdrom/dvd) needed
Hard drive doesn't even have to be large... I'd settle for 10 gigs but it seems most come with 20 or 30 now
RAM... 256-512 would be nice (or expandable to that much)
CPU... preferably the most power possible... but id even go for a crusoe or via
1 PCMCIA slot, couple USB and thats all I need (built in 802.11b, 10/100mbit ethernet, and/or 56k modem would be a huge bonus but not needed).
Battery life the longer the better, but 2-3 hours is minimum IMO.

If you know anywhere or any model like this please respond I'm very thankful.

I've been eye-balling this one.

2.2lbs with 4hr battery
2.5lbs with 9hr battery

Touch screen
LAN and Wireless

And if you don't want the USB FDD, you can subtract $20.00. You didn't mention what your budget was.


Fujitsu Lifebook P1000

This is the smallest of five ultra-portabless. A buddy of mine has one of their full size laptops and loves it.

Have you looked at Tablet PCs like the Toshiba Portege 3500 series? Or how about the regular Toshiba Portege notebooks? They're really small (2.3lbs) and have a good battery life (~6hrs) ...
