Thanks for all your help. It looks like most people are pointing me towards Dell.

Does anyone know when these ultra lightweight laptops will reach Pentium 4 status?

I'm running a P3 desktop and it's starting to become a dinosaur. I'd like to get an ultra lightweight laptop ASAP, but if P4 ones are coming out soon I would be willing to wait. I use a lot of BIG programs and often all at the same time, so I am trying to get a powerful, yet ultra lightweight laptop. I use voice recognition software (Dragon Naturally Speaking) and heavy duty mathematics/statistics software (S-Plus, SAS, JMP). Even my P3 desktop with 384MB RAM croaks when I get going on some of my projects. I know I originally said I was looking for a good $$$ deal, but if I need to spend some $$$ in order to get what I am looking for I can do it. So, if anyone does know what the future looks like for new ultra lightweight laptops I would love hear to what you have to say...
