Just wondering if others in my position have done any similar research and hit upon a magical device.
We're an IT company and want a few laptops for engineers. They'd want to be thin & light to ensure good portability, but not entirely netbook-like in terms of spec - after all, nobody wants to work with a celeron (or most ULVs). One other main requirement is the presence of a TPM chip so that we can BitLocker them. I'm thinking something somewhere between a Thinkpad X100E and a Dell Latitude E4200. Price-wise closer to the X100E, of course :-).
Any suggestions?

Those laptops you mentioned are semi-dated and there are laptops out now that are much improved.
I'd recommend checking out these two laptops:
- Lenovo Thinkpad X120e (gdgt.com/lenovo/thinkpad/x120e/)
- HP Pavilion dm1z (gdgt.com/hp/pavilion/dm1z/)
These both have a new AMD processor that's a lot better than the Atom processors that you'll find in netbooks. I like Thinkpads because they always seemed to have the better build quality of the PC laptops out there, but I believe the HP is a bit cheaper.
