Hmm, if your looking for a Portable machine, but want a good keyboard and decent specs check out the new Lenovo Thinkpad's that have just come out.

The new Thinkpad X100e has a 11.6" display, starts at 3 Pounds, and has overall decent specs. Best of all the Price starts at $549 new, so you actually get a very nice ultra portable with a great keyboard machine with for a third of the price you would have paid a year ago.

Another option of you want a 13.3" screen then Look at the new Thinkpad Edge Series which has even better specs and a similar keyboard with prices from $579.

The nice thing with these new models is that you get Lenovo's new styling which while subdued still looks elegant and is well built.

If you want a smaller package with a rotating screen to make it easier to use as a Reader then check out the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t Tablet which is Lenovo's Flagship netbook with a rotating touch screen. While Not very cheap at List $549 (Can be found a little cheaper elsewhere) its a very nice compact netbook which has the added benefit of having a rotating touch screen so you can fold they keyboard out of the way when you don't need it.
