I'm using an older Thinkpad, the X60; I had bought it primarily for it's portability, though it's still over 2x heavier than an ipad 2 and the battery doesn't last nearly long enough, for the most part it does most of the things people mentioned on this thread without being as heavy as a traditional notebook.
