I think they're all about the same these days. Anything with a screen bigger than 15" is big and clunky (Have you seen those Toshiba and HP 17" monstrosities?), with about average battery life. Probably play on spending between 1500 and 2000. FYI, all the laptops in the world are made by the same 4 companies in Taiwan, so as long as the warranty has good terms, don't hesitate too much to buy a generic laptop.
