A timely thread. I'm looking for a laptop too, although for me it's to replace a desktop because I'm tired of having a big computer in the living room of my 1BR condo.

This laptop review was in the Washington Post last week:

Also see www.cnet.com for all kinds of information and reviews.

My current pc is a dell so they keep sending me emails about the huge price cuts they're offering right now for back to school.
