I noticed in the Lenovo blog (courtesy of the T400s entry mentioned by Jane--thanks!) that Lenovo was thinking about netbooks for the ThinkPad line (they already have them in the IdeaPad line). Here's a list of things I'd like to see in a ThinkPad netbook, insomewhat-w weighted order: o TrackPoint o keyboard layout similar to existing ThinkPads o ThinkLight (maybe high/low/off instead of on/off) o fingerprint scanner o 802.11b/g, with optional 802.11n o standard 9.5mm 2.5" SATA HDD with SSD option o two Mini-PCIe expansion slots o internal Bluetooth (many netbooks use a USB dongle) o switch to disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth o traditional ThinkPad styling/materials o butterfly keyboard? (never used one myself) o no blue LEDs o UltraBase-like dock for things like optical drives and perhaps the ExpressCard interface o PowerPoint out connector (called VGA out by some)
Your specs look very much like my X60s ;-). It is slightly heavier (1,2 kg) than a typical netbook, but with all the features you want to cram into your netbook, I doubt it would weight less than 1 kg.
