Looking for a new notebook

While I doubt there are many options I haven't seen, are there any good models out right now that are 13.3", 5lbs or lighter, and the kicker, less than 1100 USD? It doesn't need to come with an operation system (obviously) or anything relatively fancy (everything has a webcam these days, it's annoying).

This one looks like it would almost fit the description:

It does have some of the fancy stuff though. Toshiba's are decent laptops for the price, and usually well supported.

Thinkpads are always great and are Linux friendly.

Check out the light X series.

Take a look at the new Dell Ubuntu Notebook, 13-Inch-Notebook XPS M1330, it has full support for linux, arch linux should run flawlessly, too.
