After some though, I decided to switch from my big dual screen workstation (called abydos) to a laptop system. I used this workstation for more than 8 years now (with 2 massive hardware changes) on a desk. But my flat not being that big (you know, Paris, it's expensive to rent), I decided to remove my desktop in favor of my guitar setup. Anyway, doing geek stuff all the day at work, I was not sitting at my desk very often.

I've bought a Lenovo Ideapad U330, which is a really nice machine. It's not like a real ThinkPad (ThinkPad are more expensive) but it's still very nice. It has almost everything a good laptop would have, dual core, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB hard drive, WiFi up to 802.11n, DVD writer, webcam, HDMI, etc. And a not-too-small-not-too-big 13.3" LCD display. It's quite light with only 1.9 Kg, but IMHO, I still think it's a bit heavy. YMMV.

I've installed Debian on it (of course) and everything works like a charm. There's only a little bug with the webcam, since the image is upside down. But I'm pretty sure this is already fixed in kernel > 2.6.30. It has been named keller (Stargate fans will know why).

For now I really recommend this laptop. :-)
