Which ultra-portable super sub-notebook?!

Saw a Sony Vaio T150P this week, and it looks (and feels) excellent. The perfect size for what I want, and a battery life that lasts 6 hours plus...

But, it's expensive, and there are lots of comments that the build quality is bad, and a general dislike of them.

I see there is a Toshiba equivalent - the Protege R200 I think... is that any better?

We just bought a Toshiba Satellite M50-130 and a Sony Vaio B3XP for work this week. Going to evaluate them next week. Not sure if they are "sub" notebooks, but the main criteria was for a small notebook, Pentium M and good disk space.

We got the lightest Dell Latitude laptop at work. It's 1.1kg and is soooooooo small. Unfortunately the DVD drive is an external unit, but if you don't need it on the move then it's a fantastic laptop - widescreen 12.1" screen and 733 cpu. It's completely silent as well which is a bonus. The only downside is that it comes with all the crap that Dell put on it - but I'm sure it's the same for all laptops.

I got a mint second hand Sony TR1MP (£600), added another 1/2 gb of memory and it's a cracking machine. The only thing it's missing is a DVD writer, although the CD writer's spot on for what I need.

IBM (Lenovo) ThinkPad X series are very light and portable.

Hmm.. thanks for the suggestions, but I deliberately want the smaller size of that tiny Vaio - for fitting inside small luggage, rather than the conventional 'laptop-size'. For instance, the Vaio T2XP is 272x34x205mm. Lovely!
