You may may to make some choices. I was laptop shopping recently, and wanted basically the same features you listed, but found that light + powerful was an odd combo.
I decided on a Dell D830 with WUXGA 15" screen (19020x1200) and the 9-cell battery.
Weight: ~6 lbs.
I was considering the MacBook pro, but wanted the higher rez screen.
I got the FreeDOS version; Ubuntu will go on it, and went for the least amount of bundled RAM, since it is WAY cheaper to buy that separately. It's even cheaper to buy it as a separate item from Dell themselves. But better yet to go through Fry's or newegg.com
