Looking for thin & light 17" Windows XP notebook

Nov 4, 2005 4:22AM PST

What is the thinnest, lightest 17" notebook that runs Windows XP? Bleeding edge graphics would be nice but is not necessary.

I have a 15" Dell XPS notebook (brick) and a 17" PowerBook (1" thick). I'd like to sell the XPS and get something more portable (like the PowerBook)

Btw, I just checked out your extreme notebook and it says 8.2 lbs!!!! Not really the 5.5 lbs you talked about.
