I've got a Dell Vostro, it is larger (13") but weighs a fraction more
than a netbook (1.59kg)
It has a core i5 and runs VS 2010 SP1 with R# fine. It cost $924
delivered. (it has a webcam, wireless n, etc)

Anybody here got a notebook mini? Dell mini 10 or HP 10? What do you
think of them?
I need something with a web cam for Skype, wireless card obviously and
*maybe* a tiny bit of dev here and there - these minis seem to meet
system requirements for vs express versions.

Very true.
I took mine on a site visit one day and one of their mobile guys laughed at
me, and informed the rest of the group that my M1730's power supply was
bigger than his computer!
Our power bill has dropped $20 since I stopped using it.

3.5Kg is light!!
The m1730 was 4.83 kg. The power supply: 1.46 kg
I remember the ooohs and ahhs as you pull out the m1730 from your bag.
Then the peels of laughter as you pull out the power supply and drop that
mother on the desk. (watch your fingers!)
Grant can back me up on this. :)

A friend just pointed out Dell have "new XPS" machines on their web site.
Spec'd one up - unfortunately I couldn't justify another laptop right now
so didn't click buy. :(
New XPS 17" looks like a nice machine. i7 4C/8T + 8Gb ram (can go up to
12Gb), 2 drives (can even config with dual 256Gb SSD's but aftermarket is
cheaper) and 1920x1080 screen (can get with 3D but I think that's silly for
a laptop. Maybe when you don't need glasses for em) and 3GB NVIDIA® GeForce®
GT 555M With Optimus.
All that for $3200ish. That's $1000 less than I paid for my m1730 years
ago. Way thinner too!
2 x usb 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0 and 1 eSata.
Width: 16.3" (414.9mm)
Height: 1.3" (32.8mm) front . 1.5" (38.5mm) back
Depth: 11.3" (287.3mm)
Weight: Starting at 3.36kg / 7.41lbs (with 6-cell battery); 3.53kg/
7.79lbs (wtih 9-cell battery)
*sighs*

Apologies for asking about laptops once again, I know this comes up
lots on this list.
I'm looking for a small laptop for occasional .net development and
demonstrations of web apps mostly, something light and between 10 and
12 inches, maybe 13 inches not sure.
Alienware M11x is one that has the grunt but its pricey. Any
recommendations?
Cheers
