Paying for advice on an ultraportable laptop deal

[jjyykk]

I need a new notebook. Price is a factor but I'm not bound by it.

Priorities:
1) battery life
2) weight
3) heat

I do not want discrete graphics, blu ray, or anything that resembles a multimedia computer. I just want a business laptop for class and for airplane flights ETC.

The Dell XPS M1330 is a good very portable laptop:

Start with the cheapest config, leave the processor and memory alone, change hard drive to 7200rpm SATA for $50 for much better performance (go solid state if you can afford that). Upgrade the battery from 37Whr to 85Whr for $70.

Total price should be $869 + tax + free ship

Check out the Vostro 1320 on Dell SB too, you'll come out a little cheaper, but it won't have some of the XPS extras.

Lenovo also has the X200S, and this coupon (20% Off Coupon USPWEEKEND Ends 04/27) brings it down to around $900-ish. 12" screen is too small I think but the weight comes down to under 3lbs.
