I recommend the Dell Latitude D600. That's the one I use at work. If you
travel with your laptop, it's very nice to have because it's skinny and
lightweight, and I haven't had any problems with it despite using it 8 hours
a day for the last nine months. It has a small screen, but if you don't
need screen enlargement, who cares about the screen size, right? Don't know
what they cost because I didn't buy it, but there's my two scents.
