That's an excellent question; I've been thinking along those lines too. (In a somewhat academic way, since the cash is a bit tight at the moment.) But I'd have to have the DVD as a requirement.

I have a laptop from my office that I'm sometimes able to snag for long trips. It's an older Gateway, with a Celeron 550MHz. But it has a DVD-ROM, and for basic word processing, checking email, and watching DVDs it's quite adequate. The battery barely lasts two hours when watching a DVD. Something like that might be a good starting point for your consideration.
