Toshiba Portégé R705-P41 TruBrite LED 13.3-Inch Laptop (Metal/Blue) (Personal Computers)
The R705 is unique in packing a full-performance CPU, DVD writer, and a 13" screen while weighing the same as a 10-inch netbook.
You will appreciate the lightness, but may have to get used to the thin and hollow feel of panels and casings. The internal structure should prove reliable, though. Rather than the MacBook's all-round sturdy feel, this machine is engineered to be solid where it counts. It weighs 30% less than the 13-inch unibody Macbook Pro: 3.2 lbs vs 4.5
The only catch is that full performance means "integrated graphics", if you can live with that. I develop websites and run virtual machines, so it's not that big a difference with enough RAM and reliable drivers.
Toshiba designed this model to be a "business-class" machine, with a 3 year warranty and life-cycle. So I wouldn't worry about the 1 year warranty, if that means business quality at consumer prices.
The 13-inch 16:9 display is something of a cross between the newer glossy displays and older matt displays. It's a bit more reflective than the VAIO Z panel, and the angles are not as good. Colors are just as great, though. It's not as spacious as the Macbook's 13-inch 16:10 display, but nowhere as near reflective.
Lastly, the cooling fan is a little noisy, but only if some buggy software or script-heavy browser session is occupying your CPU. The nice thing about a Core i5 CPU is that it does all the work quickly and returns to idling, unlike ultra low-voltage CPUs which drag on. If anything you can kill runaway processes on the i5 more quickly.
