1024x800?  Where?  They're all widescreen now.  The lightweight,
inexpensive ones are 1024*600 or so.  The larger, heavier, cheap and
modern notebooks get up all the way to 1280x800.

The lack of height would hurt me, at least.  I now use a 1024x768
Thinkpad X40 (which I have promoted here before: US$400 on eBay).
I couldn't stand going any smaller in screen size.
