    I travel 4 days/week, and I carry the Vaio TX650. Less than 3 pounds, fast, great screen, great battery life, etc.

    Are you only looking at Sony? Also some more details would be helpful, like budget.

    You should get the vaio s-series. They are small and lite (4.5 lbs) enough for travel but do not comprimise keyboard size and performance like the smaller laptops do. I have a 460 that I am happy with, and I take it around all the time.
