If you're looking for a satellite to a desktop system you can carry
around all the time, I agree with Benjamin Koh - you should get whichever
of the ultralights you prefer, like the Sony 505, Toshiba 3010/3015, or
Actius. Especially if you're not power mad and can handle a 200 Mhz MMX
system. Sony sells refurbed 505G models for $1050 or so with full warranty
on their web site (http://www.ita.sel.sony.com/factory_outlet/).
