Hello people!
I'm thinking on buying a new laptop and would like it to have a 12" screen or less...
Any suggestions on good models?

I've seen that one before and I have to say it was one of my favorites...
Does it has cd/dvd drive? I can't seem to find anything about it...

Now I'm starting to like it more and more. I'm seriously thinking on getting this one. Unless I find a better option I think this is the one.

IBM is one of the best and sturdiest laptops. There are small things which are not in its favor and they are

a) The interface is wierd ( I hate it and the pointing thing in middle sucks )
b) Made in China ( I dont know how good the quality is )

The IBM Lenovo has both the mouse pad and the eraser on it. I own the T43 and I had it for about a year now. It's really study and it has features which prevent HDD crashes.

Good... Once again my main option.
One thing I have found to be specially hard is to know an aproximate of battery life on this computers. I just don't want a laptop that may die with 1 hour use...

The battery on T43 is pretty good, I manage to use it for about 4 hours of gaming with wireless before it warns me of the battery being low. So If your just using it for programming or something then you should be fine.

I will mostly use it for college work (documents, e-mail, programming) but I also want the option to be able to play WoW once in a while...

Then the T43 should be fine for you because I play Unreal Tournament 2004 and it usually drains other laptops within an hour or hour and a half. I also use it for programming, digitial imaging and school work.

The reason I want it to be small is just for practical purposes. You can just throw it on your backpack and that's it.
