Sunny is absolutely correct. I would look into something with a 14.1" Wide screen, no smaller; and 15.4" Wide screen if you must. Look for something under 5lbs which is highly recommended and nothing over 6lbs.
If i were to buy a Dell Latitude i would get this one:
Dell Latitude D630
-14.1" widescreen display
-Starting at 4.37 lbs
If you really want the 15.4" widescreen display then this is the one i would chose:
Dell Latitude D830
-15.4" widescreen display
-Starting at 5.97 lbs
My notebook currently weighs about 6lbs and it's an older notebook, about 3.5 years old and it wasn't considered heavy. It's not that heavy especially for me but i would still want the one under 5lbs only because you carry accessories with your notebook and it adds on the weight along with the leather case i have.
