So I finally bought a new laptop.
I didn't find any good fanless laptops so I decided to buy a small laptop which runs on some other processor than Intel Atom.
I chose Acer Aspire 1810TZ.
Here's some sort of system statistic created by inxi:

I cannot but recommend this if you're going after small but powerful laptop.
On a side note I bought this as used from Acer. This was a DOA laptop. Wireless wasn't working when customer received this. At the service they gave this customer a new laptop and later replaced the wlan card for this laptop.
Then I bought this with price of 315€. ;) The laptop came only with the laptop itself plus the power source.
Oh. and the battery... It really lasts
long, unless you're compiling some big software etc...
