Ever since I got the first "critter" in 1994, it has been obvious
to me, that the weight is a far more important parameter in a laptop
than screen resolution or battery life.

After all, if you didn't bring your laptop with you because it was
to heavy, what difference will screen size make for you ?

My current H-P Omnibook 800 is getting a bit tight around my
shoulders and I'm contemplating an upgrade, currently I think the
H-P Omnibook 900 is a strong candidate, but if anybody has any good
recommendation for machines in the 2kg (4 lbs) class I'm all ears.
