14.1" is a nice size. I do most of my work with an external monitor,
but when I move from the desk the smaller screen is big enough to be
"almost full-size" but still makes for a laptop that is noticeable
lighter and smaller than most 15" laptops. The Dell E1404 is not
the lightest 14" laptop you can get, but you can get it for a good
price. (Search for one of the online coupon codes.)

I just got a Dell XPS M1210 and it's very light, has a pretty nice full
size keyboard, 1280x800 screen, and completely open source compatible.
If you want light but full featured, it's a good option. I love mine so
far...
