I know you said no netbooks - but I got a new HP Mini 1000 (with a 10.2" screen) right after christmas and I love it ($399 at best buy). light as anything (with an SSD drive). I knew the screen was smaller and thought it would take a while to get used to - but it really didn't (took about a day to get used to). The thing boots up super fast, and has probably the easiest RAM upgrade I have ever seen in any computer.
