I have had an Acer 4730z for about 4 months now. It's nice and everything but too bulky for my purpose (school and business use) and for lugging around. I was looking at netbooks but their screens are too small and have very low capability. I am looking for a very small full notebook computer.

At least 150g hard drive (preferably 200 or 250), at least 2gigs ram (4 would be best, but 2 would be fine), an NVDIA gpu (I will never use intel again), and AMD based processor (dual), and a very good Wireless card. A long lasting battery would be great too. Less than $400 if possible.

I have looked and looked but never found anything. I want something small and light enough that I can carry everywhere I go. Thanks

don't think you can get the above specs for less than $400.
Even a netbook such as the Eeepc1000 is around $6-700.

Not for that price and its better to lug around a 15.4" notebook than to pay hundreds from the result of squinting at a tiny screen.

Most notebooks in your price range are 15.4"

My MacBook is 13.3", perfect size if you ask me, but for whatever reason most 13" I see are at least $700...
Newegg has a nice Toshiba for $650: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2034940032%20103980223&name=13.1%22%20-%2013.4%22
Inspiron 13 Starts at $500 (although I don't recommend Dell): http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/laptop-inspiron-13/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-inspiron-13&s=dhs&cs=19&ref=lthp

You won't ever find that again. AMD bought/merged with ATI. Any AMD system will be ATI-based, not Nvidia.

Sorry :(

what about the Compaq CQ60? it has a AMD/nVidia combo, although it is a 15.6"....
