I have been using a tiny Sony VGN-TX850P for a year. It weighs 1 kilo (2.1 lbs), is sized like the HP mini-note, and includes a DVD drive. The list price was over $2K, but when Vista came out, I picked up a couple of XP versions on Amazon for $1500 each.
Having a 2 lb computer has changed my whole way of working. For a while I also used a bigger desktop, but then I dumped some archival data that I don’t really need and converted to the mini-note book as my ONLY computer.
Now I can get something that size for $400 to $800 instead of $2000+. Since my copy of XP is at the point where it needs to be completely reinstalled, I consider it better to just get a new machine instead. What fun!
