I've got the Acer Travelmate 8204WLMi... T2500 processor, 2GB RAM that Duo core does WONDERS for your Java IDE. Personally I dislike HP's my first preference would be a Dell, but this is my 2nd Acer ( they're better value for money in my opinion ) and I've been more than happy with both of them.

If you're using it for development in a Linux environment you might get by but I would recommend upping the memory to at least 1.5 Gig if you're running an IDE, application server and OpenOffice. If you're developing in windows I would opt for a T2500 processor with 2 Gig of RAM. The speed difference between a T2300 and T2500 is worth the extra money. I'm currently developing on an HP nx7400 and the performance on this machine is great! I am able to run Ubuntu in VMWare for development on a Windows platform (sued for office applications, file sharing and 3G card) with no resource glitches whatsoever.
