		 I recommend the Dell 700m.  I've had three Dell laptops over the course of five years or so (two of them were stolen). 
 
The one I had before my 700m had a Pentium 4 chip in it and a high end monitor...  it weighed a freakin' ton.  The transformer weighed as much as the laptop itself.  Definatley not something I enjoyed toting around.  Make sure you get Centrino, it is powerful and light. 
 
I have had my 700m for about 6 months now.  I take it to and from work daily (either carried on public transit or on my scooter), I have also taken it on a few sales trips around the world.  I have no complaints about it so far. The battery life is roughly 2.5 to 3 hours (I have a regular battery) but the plug is nice and light. 
 
For someone looking for a small and practical computer that they plan on lugging around I highly recommend it.
