help me find a notebook please

Feb 3, 2005 5:42PM PST

I want something under 4 pounds
at least 5 hour battery life
and quiet, I don't want to hear a thing

It'll be used for everything but gaming:
I will do some webpaging (macromedia including flash), which will probably include minimal graphic design stuff, and mostly a lot of coding in C, C++ and Java. What is the minimum processor speed you think I'll need?

What are my options to meet all these specs?
I was thinkin a lifebook P7000 but it's only got 1.1 PM gigahz, is that enough?

Every notebook I've ever seen will make noise of some sort. There's the hard disk, CD/DVD drive, a fan (some are quieter, but never silent).

You may want to consider a little noise is acceptable.
