Well i just bough an Acer recently

T7350 Core Duo
4MB Ram
9600M GS Graphics
13xx by 7xx (not sure exact size)
250Gig Hard Disk
16" widescreen (Probably to big for you PP)

On Paper Acer seem to offer the best value for money however:
Build Qualilty is quite cheap
Battery life is poor
Screen only opens to a max of about 120 degrees
Other wise the specs above provide pretty good performance

Also the Intel naming scheme is very confusing here is a basic rule to remember T = 25W power dissipation P=35W power dissipation. Theoretical you would expect something with T to be better on batteries...but nothing to do with Performance..that all comes dow to CPU speed, size of L2 cache, and speed of FSB.
