suggestions are welcome.

Get a flexible external keyboard to plug into it? They roll up to a reasonable size and are surprisingly nice to type on (not as good as a proper keyboard, but a lot better than I was expecting!) No idea how long they last. Saw some today for a UK fiver.
The small Sony Vaios have very nice screens, and are light. But if you're going to be travelling a lot I'd advise getting a relatively tough case for it as the machines themselves aren't that sturdy (one chap at work is on his third repair in about a year...) And Sony support has been shipped out to a third party and is suffering for it.

I've actually been looking at one of these for myself.
Feel free to PM if you are interested.
Cheers.

I've been debating one of those IF I do get one. If I do, it won't be until my mobile contract runs out, as I plan on changing suppliers and might see if I can get a 3G dongle as part of the deal. I only know Lenovo as the people who took over the Thinkpad range from IBM, which is a machine I like.
