    laptop for partable devlopment

    I am a CIS major and was thinking of getting a laptop so that I can write programs on the go ...

    basic needs:
    20GB drive is enough
    DVD-ROM is a big plus
    x86 CPU is a must
    powerful enough to run WinXP
    the smaller the better (12" screen?)
    CHEAP!!! (is it even possible?)
    built in 10/100 port (required)
    built in wi-fi (not required, but nice)

    any recomendations? ultimately, I'd love it if I can get it for about 500USD or less, but somehow I doubt it ...

    EDIT: Went through dell, toshiba, and hp and found this one so far ...
    Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Home Edition with SP2
    Intel(R) Celeron(R) M 360 (1.4 GHz)
    14.0" WXGA Widescreen (1280x768)
    Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 900 - Celeron
    256MB DDR SDRAM (1x256MB)
    40 GB 4200 RPM Hard Drive
    8X DVD Drive
    Integrated 56K Modem + 10/100 Ethernet LAN
    6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
    Microsoft(R) Works/Money
    HP Sport Backpack
