Was about to recommend the Toshiba Satellite with 12" screen, I've got one from around 2006, bumped up RAM and changed out to a 500gb hard drive, partitioned for multi boot, *and* virtual PC on it ... But it was just over $1000 stock so it doesn't meet your budget ... The 12" screen makes it MUCH more portable (and lighter) than a 15" laptop It even travels in my motorcycle saddlebag without issue and 12" is big enough for normal business use ( the netbook little screens take a LOT of scrolling )

I will need to dual boot between windows and nix and as far as work goes, it will only need to allow ssh/rdp over OpenVPN so no issues I can imagine. The rest leaves personal use. If I was only going to spend ~600-800 bucks, what would you guys get? I only look after a few laptops at work so I really have no idea what the market offers or who makes good ones! ~15" screen for portability is primary.
