Sony Vaio VGN-TZ and T2/Linux
The Sony Vaio VGN-TZ is a rather slim, lightweight and stylish, however "very expensive" sub-notebook that just weights 1.19kg.
Powered by the ULV (Ultra Low Volage) version of the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, it achieves over 5 hours of battery time, but runs at just 1.06 GHz or 1.2 GHz - which can be a little slow for some tasks (such as voice recognition or virtual machines).
Notes
Suspend to RAM just worked out of the box (on a test machine), support for the integrated webcam and fingerprint reader is unknown (lack of time while testing the machine in a store :-).
The machine lacks a digital video output (like DVI) even on the docking station!
There are also models with SSD (Solid State Drive) and/or HSDPA capable 3G (UMTS) built-in.
