I'm thinking that the $400 kind would probably be rather disappointing,

You know, the Dell's around $800 are Core 2 Duo's. I really can't see
you being disappointed with that ...
Does anyone have a wide-screen (16:9, 10:6, ..) format and regret it?
It depends. How much do you truly value "portability"?
If you just move from desk to desk with it then there won't be any
issue. If, however, you're like me and it gets hauled with you to do
presentations and stuff, then weight matters. Display size == glass ==
weight.
I see resolutions like 1280x800 and 1680x1050. The latter sounds
especially nice to me -- I tend to use multiple windows and like the
real estate. Anybody have negative experiences with such res?
The only issue is that the pixels get smaller. As long as you can scale
the icons/fonts in Your Favorite Window Manager, it's no big deal.
What do people think is a good overall screen size? What's the max that
is still convenient to carry around, and actually fit on one's lap? See
previous question re wide-screen.
15.1" is probably as big as you want, and it's normally pretty hefty
unless you get a thin laptop.
