To me the most important things:
- Battery Life
- The ability to disable that touch pad and use a mouse
- Screen Quality
Local place has those "E-Machines" 15" wide ones pretty cheap. I was looking at those.

Don't let price be the deciding factor when buying a laptop, battery life should be something to consider, if its a halfway decent machine, you should be able to use a mouse seperatly, and yes, consider how the applications you use look on various screens.
Another thing to consider is the weight of this as you will be lugging this all over the far corners of the planet.
When it comes to laptops, I have owned them all, when it comes down to it, the IBM Thinkpads are the best way to go when going with the Windoze/Linux operating system.
Their keyboards are like silk, the screen is easy to read, and their repair policy is A1, if you want something cool, light and sexy, I'd check out the
Thinkpad T41
