Mini laptops?

I'm looking to buy a very small laptop, however, I don't want it to have Windows CE as an OS, and I'd like the screen to have bigger resolution than 640x240 (HVGA of 640x480). When I'm talking about a very small laptop, I mean a laptop with a 12-inch screen or smaller; what I would really love is a laptop where the keyboard is about the same size as the screen, such as in the Sony Vaio Picturebook PCG-C1XS. Can anybody recommend me such laptops? They don't have to be new, and in fact, I'd prefer them to be under $400 or so, and with at least 128MB of RAM if possible (64MB is still fine for me, but no less).

And as for what I plan to use it for, here's the main things:
1. Word processing and other related school work (so I have less to type at home)
2. Listening to music (replacing my MP3 player)
3. Streaming movies online (so I don't need a bigger hard drive to actually store/download the movies)
4. Playing games/emulators (pretty much only the older games, and no emulators past SNES or Sega Genesis)

Check out Averatec laptops. http://www.averatec.com

They have alot of laptops that are in your size requirements I think. 10-12" screens. Look at there Featherlight line and the Ultraportable line. The Thin and Light line also has a few 12" one as well.
 
Thanks, I had already found those before, and even though they do have laptops with screens smaller than 12 inches, they are very hard to find, let alone for a good price.

And I have slightly changed my search; instead of 12 inches and smaller screens, I'm only looking for laptops with smaller-than-12-inch-screens.
 
I've found out that pretty much any Sony Vaio Picturebook (with more than 64MB of RAM) will suffice to my needs, and I've been able to find some pretty good deals (with plenty of accessories/upgrades) on the Picturebooks for around $400, so unless somebody can recommend me a better computer around the same size, specs, and price, I guess I'll be buying on this weekend.
