get an IBM thinkpad t-series...(titanium alloy case)you can find then on ebay new in the box for like 800 (a p3 800 mHz t-21/22). Mine has DVD, 14.1 inch tft display, 20 gig hd, ethernet, keyboard illuminator, etc. Very thin and light. XP works great on em. Bulletproof. I've owned Dell's..plastic flimsy cases, and not too reliable.
