I'm looking are for a similar thing at the moment

so far i like the ASUS F8SN. I found it with a T9300 2.5GHz instead of a 2.4GHz and a 320GB HDD instead of a 250GB for $1835 which i'm leaning towards at the moment

The only thing that worries me with the Asus is the battery life. With prices, I haven't really been looking for the best price around yet, just trying to figure out what to buy first.

Have you had a look at the Vostro 1310? Very good value this week for the $1099 package. With 2K you can upgrade the CPU to a high level and add the 3 years warranty.

For $1670 you can get C2D 2.4Ghz, 3GB Ram, 250GB hard drive, 3 years onsite warranty, 128MB 8400 video card, Dell Carry Bag, Wifi+Bluetooth, built in camera, DVD Burner, 15months security
