For getting basic tasks done while on the road, HPs Mini Note 2140 makes a perfect lightweight traveling companion.

You dont necessarily need to lug around a full-size notebook to stay productive on the road. HPs newest pint-sized netbook, the Mini 2140, (prices start at $499) packs a lot into a petite 2.6 pound package.
Inside the Mini 2140s durable 1.05 x 10.3 x 6.5- inch aluminum case sits an accelerometer that can protect your hard disk data from damage due to excessive shock or vibration (a solid-state storage drive is also available), and an ExpressCard slot will accommodate a cellular modem for times when Wi-Fi isnt available.
Portable Mouse

Kensingtons $49 SlimBlade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse connects to a PC or Mac via Bluetooth (so no transceiver required), runs on ordinary AAA batteries, and automatically puts itself into power-saving mode when you shut down your notebook. Switch the SlimBlade to Presenter mode, and the left and right buttons let you easily navigate back and forth through presentation slides.
