I am looking for a good quality lightweight laptop. I commute and the one that I currently have is far too heavy to carry around with me every day. I don't really have very many techincal needs- just that it be wireless ready and can run Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Thanks!

The weight is normally determined by the screen size. An optical drive also adds weight. IBM/Lenovo has some lightweight the Thinkpad X60's are light but only have a 12" screen. The Thinkpad T60's are about 6 lbs with a 15" screen.
Try www.govconnection.com and use the search criteria on the left.
Here's an Ultrabase X60 model:

Also keep in mind you may be able to get an Education discount from vendors.
