Need help finding a sub 5 lb laptop

I need help finding a sub 5 lb laptop. The biggest restriction is that it needs to be able to handle basic 3D games like WoW and stay under 5 lbs. I'm having a tough time finding this perfect laptop for my gf. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You'll do well with the Sony S series or the brand-new Sony SZ series. They're both 13.3-inch widescreens, somewhere within the 4-5 pound range, and have the GeForce Go 6400 (in the S) and 7400 (in the SZ). They're pricey, but you get what you pay for.

THe Fujistsu Lifebook S Series is really light at 3.8pounds. Not sure how good it'll play WoW though since it has an intel integrated chip.

Just as a thought, I have been extremely happy with my Apple PB 12". Harder to find games for it, but they run fine. And it weighs 4.5 pounds. Been a fantastic computer.

The Fujitsu P-series is also an extremely portable computer. It's less than 3 1/2 pounds and it should run WoW fine on lower settings if you get a good amount of RAM.

You might also want to consider the Asus W3V.
