It's a tough call: ultra thin and light, but no ports; or somewhat beefier with ethernet, DVI, etc? This one is probably as small as it gets while still having the full complement of connectors. The Macbook Air does not come with a German keyboard option, so it's off the table. the Samsung Series 9 does have this option, but I actually have to buy it from Germany. I'll give my money to the company that makes it the least PITA to get a German keyboard. Except Sony. I hear nothing but bad things about their customer support. Maybe Lenovo will prove itself in the internationalization arena.
