See title. What are my options?

Really interested in the cheapest portable PC which is able to play COD4. Not bothered about graphics if it can play it on low-medium that is fine. If you actually have the laptop and can attest to it's abilities that would be great. If it can handle 720p video would also be a plus but really not bothered by that. Had a look around and unsure as to whether any netbooks can currently handle COD4 comfortably at the moment and I mean actually playable not stuttering about at 10 FPS. Thanks.
 
Just for comparison I have a old Dell 9400, 2Ghz Core 2 Duo and a GS7900, 17" 1920x1200 and I play COD4 (online) on it at 1280x800 or similar. Have it set to low/medium and while it plays ok, you aren't going to keep up with other players with fast rigs and hi res. Especially for sniping, they can pick you off and you can't even see them.

I paid £385 for mine last week, But they don't seem to be in stock anywhere now for less than £700.

I've not got CoD4 yet, but UT3 and Grid both run really well, fraps registers 30-40 fps in both games at the native resolution.

Battery life is awesome to, puts my old netbook to same.

do you think these ion netbooks will run football manager 2010 at a decent rate? I know that it's totally cpu dependant

I have the 311 and used to play FM2010 in uni lectures :D it runs fine, you are right that it is cpu dependent, and thus can be sometimes a bit slow when it is processing. But adequately playable.
