Graham,
I have the Dell XPS M1210, on the recommendation of Richard Godfrey. This
weighed in lighter than the Latitude range (though came out more expensive). I
purchased about sixteen months ago.
I'm very pleased with mine as I have a back problem. I'd check with Dell what
their lightest model is at present.
