Small Laptop advice

[phiber]

Hi Guys,

I am looking for a laptop solution where price is not a problem. What i need is the following:

As small as possible (10-11) would be perfect
Must look good (aluminium finish preffered)
Must have a core2duo, cannot be an Atom processor - Pref 2 ghz+
Must take 2 to 4 gigs ram
Must weigh as little as possible
SSD

Any ideas what laptops i should look at ? I know the price range will prob be 20-25k, but that is fine.

My option on the 13" would prob be a macbook air.

How about a Lenovo U Series?

laptopdirect has a Dell Vostro that is small and has a P8600 going for just over R7000. Add a SSD and bump up the RAM, and you're still way under budget.

No not he macbook! You have enough problems in your life!

Try the Lenovo X200/x300 or something similar.

I don’t like HP but the small EliteBook can also work.

If price is not an option, you should get a Panasonic Let's Note. They are tough, they are light and they come with SSD and Core i3 or i5. Alternatively NEC also make great light machines.

They're not Al though but Mg Alloy which is lighter and stronger than Al.

for that type of cash why not buy a proper gaming laptop, a nice asus of something?, you can get a netbook from the change

Macbook Air with runcore SSD.

You can buy a gaming notebook from Panasonic too, not only can you beat your friends at the game, you can smash their AlienWare and Asus notebooks with your notebook and continue to play while they collect their pieces and cry.
