I have an asus eee pc and I love it. Much smaller than 14.1 and battery lasts like 6 hours. Sony's are probably the best, but most expensive. Dell is the best bang for your buck.

For this money you can Sony Vaio VGN-FZ, or FW series laptop. They are very good built and you have possibility to choose from different specifications as processor speed, HDD, video card. The casing remains the same. The LCD size is 15'4 in FZ and 16'4 in FW. Good luck!

HP DV6000...comes with webcam..you can actually keepit on (Friend's ASUS melted!!!)

I'm no computer expert, but i have a sony vaio and it's awful. It's the worst thing i ever bought, been nothing but trouble since i bought it. Anyone who uses my laptop is shocked by the poor performance. To be fair though, i've been told that this is one of Sony's worst laptops, and i may have just been unlucky with it but i'd still be very wary of buying another sony vaio.
