Windows 7 apparently comes out late next month, and I am VERY tempted to get a small laptop computer of some kind, hoping that they come out reasonably priced before I move. But if move-date comes before the 22nd, I might get an XP-based mini-laptop of some kind.
Basically, I want something that has the following qualities:
lightweight
about 9-12 inches
durable
good processor
good battery life (> 4 hours)
DVD+RW drive
wireless internet reception (bonus if it also has the ability to hook up directly to a high-speed modem cable)
not Dell (it has ONE nice color and color-coded ports, but I hate everything else)
I got tempted by the idea after seeing a netbook at Target with XP for about $350. And I've been thinking a LONG time about something like this, especially with an upcoming move and continued frequent travels.
Do any of you have any ideas, advice, and experiences to share?

(I also played with a friend's Wii tonight, much fun, very temtped to eventually get one too.)
