Looking to buy a new laptop / notebook and i really want a small one - 12" screen or smaller.

Have been looking at apple ibook which has a 13" screen but any feed back on a good solid, small, powerful laptop would be greatful.

My sister has a really small Dell - I think it's about a 13". She got it... I think about 4 years ago and she loves it. People come up to her in coffee shops and ask her about it.

This one might be an option:

12" screen, weighs less than 5 lbs (god that site is awful!! Had to scroll around and skim through useless text to find anything useful).

Intel Centrino chipsets are best for laptops I've heard.

I'm using a centrino 1.5 Ghz and it is very energy efficient. Alas, the batteries are still not particularly durable..
