NEED HELP FINDING A ULTRA PORTABLE LAPTOP WITH A TRACKPOINT

Hey Guys, I am new on the forums, I have had many Laptops in the past.

Ok First of all my budget I wanna stay under $1000, but can go up on the price if I really feel like the laptop is WOW!


CLIFFS NOTES:
**MAINLY NEED ULTRAPORTABLE LAPTOP WITH A TRACKPOINT!
**WANT 3-4 LB Laptop with Trackpoint and SSD Hard Drive, I Would like 13.3 inch screen or bigger, rest of the default configurations are ok (Core i5/i7 and etc)

I Would also Like something more of a Late 2011 or 2012 Model.

Past Laptops:

Dell D620
Dell Inspiron i8000
Thinkpad T60
Thinkpad X300

And Few Others, well my Thinkpad X300 is great except that the LCD is broken :(

I love the slim size, the light weight, the ssd fast runing hard drive, BUT THE MOST MOST IMPORTANT THING, I NEED A TRACKPOINT

If you see all my laptops you will have noticed they all have a trackpoints, I hate using the TOUCHPAD! I still do on other laptops but hate it and sitting in bed I cant use a Mouse, and I dont wanna use a Mouse all the time.

So What I am looking for is input on a Good New Laptop:

I want Thin and Lightweight, 4 LBS or under. I Really want macbook air size and a PC of course, but I am willing to go few lbs more if the pricing is better and I can get a bigger screen. I have a 13.3 inch on the X300 but I want to go bigger if possible

Thin as my X300, I want the size similar to my X300.

SSD Hard Drive

I saw the Thinkpad X1, but feel like it doesnt have that style that I want now, I am tired of black thinkpads, I love them, but for the money I am sure you guys can help me find something else.

My Friend told me to check out Samsung np900x3a - WOW SO SEXY! I LOVE IT, and its $950 at Best Buy, I would buy it in a heartbeat if it had a Trackpoint :(

-

Also If I get a laptop now on Windows 7, will upgrading to Windows 8 have any driver issues, and will everything work perfectly.

Honestly I hated Windows Vista, so I Used XP on all my computers till 7 Came out.

THANK YOU FOR READING ALL THIS LOL

If you are looking for notebooks with track points you will have to take a look at the Latitude line.

The Latitude E6520 and E6420 are great notebooks and in your price range.  If you are looking for something a little sleeker, it has a higher price but the E6320 is slimmer and lighter.  All 3 models have pointing sticks.

You can find more about the Latitudes from the following link

I hope that this helps
