Dell. XPS is looking awefully tempting right now. But I already have two laptops. I have two Lenovo Thinkpads. No more! IBM took the Thinkpad quality with them.

That'd be cool!
No it wouldn't. :/

I'd stear clear from HP... decent prices I guess but I had a laptop from them which gave me lots of problems and they have sub-par tech support. After that I got a XPS, the price was a little higher, but I've had zero major problems with it and I still use it a decent amount of time.
XPS might be too much for what you want though, it's really a gaming PC. For basic needs and price the Compaq Presario V5000Z might be better. The Sony VAIO is something else to maybe look at. |

I recently bought a Macbook and it has been the best computer I have ever owned. At least I think I can safely say that now. I suppose if you're going to be playing a lot of intensive games than it isn't for you but other than that I think they are great.

Word. If mine were a car it'd have 200k miles on it. It's a solid computer. I need a newer one someday...

Have you considered Asus as an option? I've heard pretty great things about their EEE laptops. The most expensive one will run you ~$500 American. It has an Intel Atom processor, SSD hardrive (depending on the model), decent battery life.

EEE keyboards suck. Buy an Acer Aspire One if you're going that route, I have it, and it's far better in pretty much all respects, only $350-$400. Also, the SSD, while durable, has absymal performance, a normal HD is still the way to go (Which is what I have in mine), unless you're planning on playing catch with your laptop while it's running.
