I'd recommend the HP OmniBook 900b
The things I like about it are:
1. At 4 pounds it is reasonably light.
2. ATI Mobility video, this has enough memory to drive an external
monitor at a reasonably high resolution. It's also supported
under XFree86 3.3.6 and 4.0.
3. Built in serial port. I dislike needing an external 'dongle' to
use the serial port. Since I use this laptop for interfacing to
machine consoles on a frequent basis, this is important.
4. The built in screen is 13.3 inches, which is large enough for me
and pretty good for a 4 pound notebook.
Just my $0.02 worth.
