    14" normal ratio screen (xga).
    Lightweight (less than 2.2kg/4.5lbs)
    Good battery life.
    Sturdy
    Good graphics card.
    512 Ram
    At least 40gb
    Cdvd burner/reader
    At least 1.7ghz
    Infared/bluetooth etc.

    Other specs if possible
    - speakers near the monitor
    - trackpoint mouse

    I have looked at the nc** models but still confused...
    I'm getting an ASUS M9V but waiting for the stock to come.. however now somebody has pushed me in the HP direction...

    The closest would be the HP L2000/Compaq V2000z 14" widescreen series. They're about a pound heavier than what you want, but the ATI Radeon 200M is the best integrated GPU you can get. I do recommend getting the 12 cell battery, even though it adds weight and raises up the back of the notebook a bit.

    Something like the Fujitsu S series would fit, but I don't think they offer Bluetooth. ThinkPad T series would fit as well, but is over the weight limit.

    you might want to go to the "What notebook should I buy?" section and post with the FAQ filled out. This might get you a better notebook recommendation.
