My old Dell is on its last legs and it's time to buy a new notebook. I need something that'll be good for business travel, since I take at least two or three trips a month. It has to be light (under four pounds), have built-in WiFi, and cost somewhere in the neighborhood of two grand (the less the better!). A built-in DVD drive would be nice, but is optional.

I guess netbook from sony or toshiba is a little bit expensive and easy to be stolen.
i searched on google for a CHEAP MINI NETBOOK then i found one.it is a d425 intel atom netbook

10.2inch.only trouble is the memory has only 1gb.

When traveling, it's usually common to have your stuff get wet or easily dropped and soiled. So A shockproof and waterproof laptop is more preferable when traveling including a safe to carry bags for other plug it gadgets.

Vaio is pretty expensive. I recommend Asus or Toshiba, because they are very solid.
