But, they actually are not a good value for a portable (unless its being subsidized by a company) because of the cost premium. For personal use I would advise a Dell XPS M1530, because it's a solid machine, looks sleek, and has a lot of power. The advantage of the Dell is that its not prohibitively expensive but still a very solid and reliable build (of course everyone has a Dell horror story, but Dell has pretty good customer service overall). For a portable machine you want something that isn't too expensive given that it's going to get a lot of wear. Check out the sidebar above, I just added a new link for $500 off an XPS (or $250 off any purchase above 1249, if you decide to go the Inspiron route, though frankly the XPS units are better than the Inspirons in every category). Note, I am an affiliate with Dell, Thinkpad, and NewEgg. Profits from these links don't quite cover the Bentley, but they do keep Haibane.info afloat :) Mark, I think that the best laptops out there are Thinkpads, bar none.

If it's roughly the same as Europe, it's going to be too expensive... (unless they're just talking about the Windows version, which could add significant cost). I'm in the market for a portable laptop. I don't know that it needs to be as small as the ultra-portable EEE, but it would be nice to have something for trips and whatnot. Any recommendations?
