A thought on Dell laptops from a friend of mine who supports a boatload of them at the University here...
Latitudes = decent
Inspirons = crap

I used to work in a busy repair shop and had my hands on all sorts of notebooks, but that job ended 4 years ago so I have to say I'm somewhat out of the loop.
My present employer is among other things an Acer wholesaler and their TravelMates seem to be excellent units. I bought one for my mom and she's been absolutely pleased with it.

My own "portables" include a Toshiba 6400DX (486 luggable laptop, no battery - strictly plug-in), a frightening homebrew K6 lunchbox, and a Fujitsu Stylistic 1200 pen tablet.

After the garage sale I'll eventually get around to having to offload much stuff, I plan on getting a white-box laptop.
