You can get a Compaq Presario 1200z laptop for under a grand.. 1Gig Athlon, 15(?)G HDD, CDRW/DVD, onboard nic and modem.
I used to have a Dell Inspiron 7000 (before they were replaced by the 7500's). I picked up my unzipped laptop case from the rental car's passenger seat, and it tumbled onto the pavement..... .without a scratch! My complaint about this one was the weight.
A co-worker of mine has a sony vaio. He thinks that it's pretty underpowered, and it does have a small screen, but it is very lightweight.
My daughter accidentally knocked my Compaq Presario 1210US off the couch onto the carpeted floor. It landed on the right side, jamming the wireless NIC into the motherboard, toasting the PCMCIA slot, the onboard NIC and Modem. Not covered under warranty. Shit.
I just bought another 1210US to replace it.
