Hi everyone,

I am looking for a new laptop/netbook and I have two simple requirements:

  1. must be small (10-12in screen) and light (<=3-3.5pounds);
  2. must work with a dock into which I can put a PCI or PCI Express card.

Basically, I have no performance requirements. Discontinued or low-end are fine. All I want is something easy to carry that when at work I can use a PCI/PCI Express card with to do multi-head. Eg, if an Acer Aspire 1410 fitted the second requirement I would by one in a blink.

The only solution with which I am acquainted are Thinkpads that can go into the Thinkpad Advanced Dock. Do other laptop (or netbook brands) also offer the possibility of using

Although this is not a "requirement" per se, I would rather hear about options that would not involve buying the latest-greatest-+$2k model... : )

Thank you for any advice!
