I've been very happy with my lenovo thinkpad X120e It has an AMD Fusion chip which is AMD's answer to the Intel Atom with a builtin radeon chip on the CPU. Essentialy its a netbook in a grownup laptop case which is great. At just over 2 pounds it has a 14 inch wide screen a full size keyboard the clasic thinkpad double mouse with 3 buttons. The best feature of all it has a full size battery which is why its over 2 pounds it actully gets upto 9 hours of battery life while in actual use with the extended battery even though it says 8 hours in the spec. The best part is no propriatary drivers even the radeon chip is supported by the kernel native framebuffer driver so setup was a breaze. On Dec 1, 2012 10:56 PM, "Ruben" wrote:

Well, this has been quite a learning experience, to say the very least. It = has been /unprintable,/ to say the very most. I have been watching for the = next generation in the HP Pavilion dm1 line for some time now, as my curren= t dm1-3105ez has become one of my favorite laptops =97 despite its detested= Synaptic 'ClickPad' pointing device.
I had a dm1-4010 for a short time (long enough to see that it didn't ha= ve a ClickPad, and that it worked very nicely with Linux), but then I passe= d it along to a friend. The other difference between those two was that the= 3105 had an AMD E-350 CPU, while the 4010 had an E-450, so I have been wat= ching to see what the next generation would have.
Last week I came across a dm1-4310, which has an AMD E2-1800 (Dual Core) CP= U, Radeon HD7340 graphic controller, 11.6in. 1366x768 display and NO ClickP= ad. Hooray, that's what I've been waiting for!
