| Laptops...cheap AND powerful??? Possible?
hehe...Laptops are ridiculous when it comes to pricing but their convenience when traveling is excellent. Im trying to look for a good laptop but I don't have lots of dough to throw down for it. But see, thats part of my problem. When Im gonna buy it I wanna be able to know that its got some POWER under that keyboard  hehe....but the words power and affordable in the "I want a laptop" sentence just dont work.
But thats what you guys are here for! Maybe you can steer me in the right direction. Some suggestions or whatever insights you may have for the laptoping n00b here  Thanks all. (oh and I noticed that nVidia has a 32mb card for laptops now...NICE!!!)

Tekk,
I have an Acer 202 Travelmate from work & it works great but no fancy 3D graphics
My sister just got the Acer 212T with a free carry case for about £750 (not bad IMHO).
Specs~
800 Mhz Celeron CPU
128 Meg RAM
10 Gig HD
14" TFT
IMO Acer make some really nice budget laptops.
I also think that those titanium mac's look real 
Regards
Eddy

They sell some toshibas here in Finland for ~1350$. That's quite a nice price for Celeron800, TFT14,1", 128MB ram, 15GB hd and dvd.
The cheapest ones are ~1000$...
