I would suggest the Macbook Air. It has many of the features you specified, but I would try not to be too picky unless you're willing to spend a lot of money. Good luck with your search.

I bought one, and not without trepidation. The limitations are actually a lot less limiting than you'd think. I've rarely needed access to a CD/DVD player, I've yet to require more than one USB port, and have no problems finding wireless access whereever I go. The only real limitation is the amount of disk space the SSD has, though since I removed Parallels and Vista it's a lot less tight. It's not for everyone, but like the iMac way back when, it's not bad to oush the tech a little. :-) If I were in your position, I'd wait for a few more weeks for the refresh. I suspect more disk space for the SSD and a speed up are in order. For sure spend some time with the Macbook Air. I bought one, and not without trepidation.
