    Generally the larger the laptop the better/more powerful components you will find available to you, so trying to find a smaller sized powerful laptop wont be as easy especially depending on your budget. 4GB Ram is only supported with chipsets/OS. On a 32 bit machine the OS will only recognise around 3.25GB of the ram, on non Santa Rosa at least. Whatever you choose I would advise buying the machine with as little ram as possible and upgrading it yourself - very easy and works out far cheaper.

    Anyway like I said what is available to you depends greatly on your budget. If it allows for I would suggest a Dell XPS M1330. Has a nice very nice design compared to any of their other laptops (Design outsourced wouldnt you know it) and packs decent performance for its size.
