Hi,
I commute to work via a 5 hour plane ride, I live in Jerusalem and work in the UK. I have a good Toshiba laptop but it's heavy, big and the batteries are good for only about 1.2 hours each. I have my hand luggage weighed and weight is a real issue nevermind the annoyance of changing battery every hour or so.
I'm looking for a small and light laptop which has the availability of using 4hr+ batteries. Weight would need to be <1.5kg. I need a dual core 2ghz+ with 3-4 gig ram. 120 or so gig HD. Wireless internet and preferably a built in cam for talking to my wife with! I don't care about the screen, when in the UK I have it plugged into a big monitor.
Is there anything affordable out there which comes under these specs? I've had bad experiences with both Dell and HP and won't touch them.
