 I'm searching for a _used_ ultraportable laptop but I don't really know
which model fits my requirements:

- weight 1.4-1.7 kg max (3-3.7lb)
- cpu centrino >= 1.6Ghz
- lcd == 12 pollici
- hd >= 40Gb *5400rpm*
- wireless
- no cd (if present, total weight should not exceed 2kg-4.4lb)
- price 750 euro (~500 GBP)

It seems that following models have some of the above requirements:

- IBM X31
- Dell D400, D410, X300
- Benq 6000N
- HP 4010, 4200
- Asus S5200N
- Toshiba M200

Any suggestions? Other brands/models?

IBM is my preferred choice, now got 4 in the family.

Solid and well built, but slim and lightweight (yeah, even unto my old T22 !)

Good luck with Sony's after-the-sale support, not to mention their
exorbitantly high prices for replacement parts!
