A Dell Latitude, 12.1" that you might use in a corporation would cost a minimum of $1,200 unless on sale, and would run configured about $1,600 to $2,000.
Similarly a Toshiba.
You could always get a Sony VAIO or other small one from Sony or a favorite of mine: Jujitsu.
Jujitsu.

I had no idea. I wonder if the netbook my doctor carries around cost that much.
It is a touch screen what the clinic people use. Last time I was there my doc's netbook screen suddenly fell back and it almost crashed to the floor. My heart stopped and I jumped to grabbed it but she caught it first.
She yelled at me about being too jumpy and told me to relax. I told her "I am not jumpy. I just almost saw $600 dollars crash to the floor!"
Some people just don't understand the affinity I have with computers.
