Can you recommend a Midget/lightweight laptop?

I am moving out of the country and would like to bring a laptop. The battery on my current model is shot, and the laptop itself is heavy. I want something Midget and ultra-light. My needs are simple: I play games from time to time and need to be able to develop projects, using Microsoft products. Since, I will be out of the country (S.Korea), I want something reliable. I would also like something reasonably priced (under $1000 if possible). If you need more info, let me know.

  1. I like the Dell Latitude D-420. It weighs 3 Lbs and has a 12" screen.
  2. Apple MacBook (not under $1000, the lower end model is $1099, but it's well worth it.)
  3. avaratec
  4. hp .laptop from hp.com is lightweight
  5. compaq definetly they have been know for making very lightweight mobile machine and still are (if you look at the right ones) and since they are part of HP i would suggest them too (infact i would suggest all Midget machine like a dell latitude)
  6. Acer 290 LCI its the best, its light weight , its has much longer battery and it looks cool, plus its price will be under $1000,
  7. Go to this link the 3 comps they are really good and under $1000 sony has some really reliable products http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/+INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_BrowseCatalog-Start?CategoryName=hid_computers_advisor&CatName=computers
  8. Averatec. Great little computer. All the bells and whistles in 3-4 lbs. And it's white, if the color matters to you. It also has a "fan calibration" which makes the computer soooo quiet that you can not even hear it after startup. I am a therapist and it is important that I not be distracted by the fan. You can buy this at buy.com for about 750.00 so it is about half the price of any other Midget computer. Hope this helps. I would not buy anything else. I bought one for my daughter in college, too.
