Subject: notebooks?



I'm trying to find a new notebook computer to run NetBSD on. The old
one is just too close to dead.

Requirements for me are:

1) Full sized keyboard. I can't live without this.
2) Light. 4 pounds good, 5 pounds almost too heavy. 3 pounds orgasmic.
3) Known to handle NetBSD well.

"Goodies" would be:

4) Nice sized display
5) joystick-in-keyboard mouse over trackpad
6) good battery life
7) onboard ethernet and modem I could use with NetBSD.

I don't need built in CD, DVD, floppy, or anything else like that.

Ideas?
