What Joe said. I was at Costco today, and the laptops are a great deal, but more than it seems you want to spend.
Apple is a great deal too. Why? You can run Windows XP on it. I'm running it on mine along with Mac OS 10. What you have, to an extent, are two laptops in one. Problem - they
are pricey. The Macbook is the most affordable (and smallest), but can get close to $1K by the time you put in your accessories. What you do have with Apple are very nice screens, easy wireless set up and really nice keyboards.
A must have for me is the keyboard: if you want to stick with PC, I'd definitely go Lenovo or Dell. Great keyboards on both.
Lastly, a good way to save $$ is to do a google search for "Dell Coupons" or, depending on choice, "Lenovo Coupons." Usually, something will come up for both brand of laptop. I did this a year or so ago, and with the coupon, bought two fully loaded Dell Inspirons for the price of one. Very good machines, btw.
