If u are particular about Dell then check out the Mini series and Inspiron 1318
HP mini would also do the trick but as usual beware that none of these have an optical drive except 1318
try out the dell latitude.... the "E" would be better for looks.... the tablet PC wudnt b a bad choise either... But if you are going to use your laptop in networkng or as a workstation or server in your office then you will have to select the "Precision" series of laptops
