Replacement for an old Dell Latitude

I'm shopping around for a new laptop to replace a four year old Dell
Latitude, I picked up in 2001. I loved the laptop. Loved the small size
and lightness, decent keyboard and screen.

Now, it's strange: All I see in the stores are hese laptops that are
the size of small suitcases. I guess a lop of people need to be able to
edit film and run a recording business from Starbucks. Me? Just give me
4 pounds or less, fast, small, goos keyboard and screen. I only run the
MSFT Office suite (reluctantly) and some financial software, most of
the time.

I'd consider a MAC, but don't want to pay a fortune for OFFICE on top
of the MAC premium. I'm also skittish about some brokerage sites built
for IE and my office uses MSFT Exchange.

Thoughts.

Forget Dell and everybody else.

Get a Panasonic.
