Laptop suggestions.

I just parted with my 700Mhz PIII Gateway for $300. Haven't decided if I'm going to get another laptop but if I do, I've been looking at a Compaq R4000 like my friend has. Needs to be under or around $1000. Doesn't need a good graphics card since I don't do mobile gaming, the bigger the screen the better (the R4000 is a 15.4" widescreen 1280x800), and Athlon64 is preferred. 512MB RAM minimum with a combo drive.

The Compaq R4000 is cheap, has a nice screen but I'd like other opinions before I buy.

Here's a sample config of what I'd be interested in:
XP Home
Athlon64 3200+
15.4" WXGA screen
32MB XPress 200M
512MB RAM
60GB 5400rpm HD
DVD/CDRW combo drive
802.11G Speedbooster WiFi
8 Cell battery

For $875 before rebate

Here's an acer, but its pentium M, but thats no so bad, because, to be honest, intel does beat amd in the mobil market IMO. (but i'm still an amd fan)

...well, personally, I would go with a Dell for a laptop.

Why do you want a Athlon 64? Intel's Pentium M is better than AMD's 64's for lappys...
