Sony is a popular brand, but they are proprietary so that stinks.
I would go with a Toshiba or Dell. If you choose Intel, go with PIII instead of Celuron.
I bought my gf a Toshiba Satellite, 1ghs PIII, 256RAM, 20gig, decent vid card, DVD(no CDRW though), etc, for 1100 after MIRs. I like it so much I dont let her use it 😉
How soon do you need it? Because it might be worth your while to wait after X-mas, good deals then.

Dell.com

And the other brands are not?

Toshiba, Dell, Sony, IBM are the brands to look at

Toshiba if you absolutely must use Windows, otherwise the PowerBook G4 is the performance king. If you get a G4, buy a piece of software called Dave for the mac in order to network the laptop and your PC.

What you need/will want is a Dell Inspiron 8100.

I'd also say Sony.

Good notebook + X factor = a happy Migroo every time he starts his notebook.
