Sony makes a TR , TX series that is a bit bigger than you describe but SMALL. I think they recently came out with a micro mini and that might be the one you saw.

Yes, they're probably sony, fujitsu, toshiba or sharp. IF you're really interested in finding out more about sub-notebooks, go to dynamism.com, which is an importer that specializes in sub-notebooks and other super portable computing devices. Be aware, that these are usually fairly expensive for what computing power you get, as the smaller form factor makes manufacturing a bit more difficult.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
