Well, I'm saying goodbye to my sony vaio and it's tiny 60gb hd tomorrow, I'm taking the money + some of my tax return and heading down to fry's to see what I can pick up in the way of a target price point laptop in the range of 699-899

799 obviously being the sweetspot, since I figure with taxes, it's gonna hurt (i live in WA state)

One thing I'm seeing is that the core 2 duo processors are pretty much across the line outperforming the amd x2 equivalents, and I think I'm pretty set on a core 2 duo since I figure, HD, and RAM can be messed with later.

so right now it seems my primary concern is the screen real estate and the processor since those are pretty much permanent fixtures.

Anything else I should look for? any suggestions?
