Mini notebook, which one should I get?

Preferably, the screen should be 10" or less. I must be able to plug in a monitor, a keyboard, usb devices, modem, etc.

Sony's Vaio TX series but they have a 11 inch display though.

I was playing around with one of those a year ago over at CEBIT and it was cool toy

The only problem with something so small, is if you need something done to it, repair wise, it usually takes 3 times as long.

Yup that could be a problem. I would then have to carry around my big heavy notebook until the mini-notebook is fixed I guess.

I think I may end up getting sony even tho it's twice as expensive JVC since there no stores near my house that carry JVC sub-computers.

I just picked up an old laptop from like 1997. Can't do much on it, but it's really small.

Does anyone know if it's as easy to upgrade these as old desktops? Like just adding a new mobo and processor to it.

I need at least a 15GB drive and good colour monitors. In 1997, the drive were less than 5 GB I think!

I've seen them at every computer store I went to and did try them. I found them a bit to big for my need.
