Look at the inspiron 1318 on This link to get an idea of what I'm looking for.
I've seen 15.4 laptops and I think they are just too big and bulky to lug around campus or anything like that. I've also seen netbooks and think they'd be a pain in the butt to type on or do anything useful except... well... the net.
Notes:
---- Dell outlet has 15% off and free shipping right now. I missed the 20% off deal, but I see inspiron 1318's on there in the low 500$ range. You HAVE to be able to beat that "deal" (430$ + free ship for dual core, 2 gigs, 250gb hdd, etc. etc.) but it doesn't have to be spec'd as high. Just has to be a better deal.
---doesn't have to be spec'd out the roof. integrated graphics is fine and 80gb+ hdd is fine.
---Prefer glossy screen.
---Prefer something with DDR2 since upgrading DDR is more expensive now.
Anyway, let me know what you guys have. Thanks!
