The Lenovo "X" series, to me, is IMO the best no compromises small laptop I've worked with. They're barely bigger than a netbook, but have a full size keyboard, i5\i7 processors, hold up to 8gb of RAM, and are rock solid.
I have an X201 with 8gb of ram and a 128gb SSD that is really fast and rock solid with Traktor (I've also played around with Traktor + Ableton on it and it has the juice to run both with no clicks\pops\hanging). It's the last gen model i7, my girlfriend (and my employer) just bought X220's, the newer model with the newer i5 (slightly faster than my old i7). The X220 takes a slightly thinner than normal ssd (7mm), but once I get the time to load up the SSD I have no doubt it will be faster than mine.
