Didn't want to hi jack TestShoot's thread and a search didn't give me any decent results.... Corp standard is Dell, so gotta be a Dell. I'm looking for (in this order) lowest weight and longest battery life, I'd really like an illuminated keyboard as well. The two options recommended by Dell, when searching the Dell site, are E4200 and XT2. A tablet really doesn't seem important to me, but one of my peers has one and loves it (it is heavier, however, and don't know if the added functionality is worth the weight trade off). Anybody have any experience with either of these? Any other Dell offerings that I should know about? Many thanks! Bill
