2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Replacing my notebook computer

Currently have a 3 year old Sony Vaio VGN TX3XP - see here for review
http://www.trustedreviews.com/notebooks/re...otebook/p1

The main reasons for buying were - usable small size, 1.25kg weight, 9 hour battery life, brilliant X-Black screen with LED back lighting (saves battery life)

Now I'm thinking of buying a new notebook (laptops are too big and heavy for when I'm travelling). Anybody any suggestion for something as small and lightweight but hard hitting as the Tx3XP? It was an expensive machine but has been well worth it as it weighs nothing and does everything I need except it doesn't have much in the way of USB and card slots.
Thought about a Mac notebook, but they seem to be a bit low on features and quite bulky compared to what I have. I would like the ablity to plug into an external monitor for Dvd viewing which I cannot do at the moment 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
