Thanks. Now that I've discovered the Latitude E4300, I find I can get one configured as I think he needs it for under $2K. That being said, it's probably going to be next year before we get him a new computer unless his dies. J

My Toshiba is several years old, so not sure the current model offering, but I specifically got my Satellite because it has a 12" class screen, small and easily portable, but has CD/DVD burner, Centrino dual core, and upgraded to 500gb hard drive and 2gb RAM. I don't lack for computing power, and it's *almost* as small and lightweight as a netbook. My girlfriend has an HP netbook and although I love how portable it is, I find the screen too small ( not enough vertical height ) requiring lots of scrolling on some web sites and document viewing. Not so with my 12" Toshiba. $$ was not cheap, but I think I got a good value. Sony has a few supposedly good systems with small screens, but I refuse to buy the SONY brand ever since their DVD Movie division had the Rootkit fiasco, especially their response.

I was just thinking that one of our senior sales managers is needing a new laptop relatively soon, and since we're primarily a Dell shop, I thought I'd see if I could get him a new Netbook instead of a full sized laptop. Unfortunately, it seems you can either get a Netbook with a Home o/s or you can get a laptop with a business O/S. Can't seem to find a Netbook with a Business O/S. L Any suggestions on a machine that's small enough to be easily portable, but still have a business O/S?
