My advice is to wait a couple of months.  Intel is releasing a new processor
chip (code-named Dothan) probably around May 10.  This should be significantly
faster than anything available now, perhaps as much as 30-35% if it's released
(as rumored) at a maximum of 2 ghz.  So sometime between the middle of May and
the end of June there'll be a whole new generation of laptops available, which
will also mean major price drops on the technology available today.
