I'd recommend Dell as well, but a Latitude D series. Centrino based. The
D800 is awesome, but HEAVY with the widescreen monitor. The D600 is an
excellent machine with a standard screen and a 1.6ghz Centrino can be had
for $2000 w/o software. Add upgrades to memory and larger HDD yourself.
Don't pay the premium that ANY manufacturer charges. You can save at least
$100-200 if you add RAM/larger HDD after the fact.
I find Compaq notebooks to all be trash, and Toshiba/Sony aren't in the
league of Dell. IBM is also an excellent choice, and the only alternative
to Dell that I'd ever choice.

If you are able to deal with the 7.1Lbs of a laptop, I would recommend
either the Inspirion 8500 or the M60 (the 8500 is on the Home User site, and
the M60 is on the Small Business side). The M60 is built on the Centrino
technology using the Pentium M CPU with 1MB of Level II cache, where-as the
8500 is the Mobile Pentium 4M CPU. Both are 400MHz FSB, and utilize PC2600
memory.
I personally have the 8500 with the WUGA+ screen (1920x1200 resolution) with
the NVIDIA GForce4 ToGo w/64MB of RAM. The M60 uses the NVIDIAR Quadro FX
Go700 4XAGP graphics w/128MB DDR video RAM. The only other difference is
that the HD options on the M60 have faster drives. They are either 5400 or
7200 RPM drives. Where-as the 8500 only has 4200 RPM drives.
I did my research, and when comparing the 8500 to the Satellite or the
Satellite Pro laptops, or even the Compaq laptops, the price per performance
on the 8500 couldn't be beat.
