Toshiba has a great rep. for laptops....
I'd get one with a decent warranty and would go with a brand name to be sure you're getting the most for your money. They really have come down in price.
When the IBM thinkpad first came out in the early nineties they were $6k and on backorder for months.
I remember my first look at a laptop in high school when a teacher had one. We thought it was so cool looking but it really was huge in contrast to today's paper thin notebooks. We called them LUGGABLES because they could really give you a cramp carrying them around although they were meant to be portable.
