I have a sweet HP dv6000--15.4" with the 1.83ghz Centrino Duo set, 2 gigs of RAM, a 256MB nVidia GeForce Go 7400, 120GB HD and assorted bells and whistles. I paid less than 1k for it, and a better computer with similar specs now costs less than I paid (I bought it a year ago). I like the HP--my SO has a dv2700 series model with the 14.1" screen. It's much lighter than mine, and I think it would be better for traveling than mine.

One important note: make sure to choose a battery pack that is flush with the rest of the case if you're going to be traveling. Some larger battery packs are not flush (such as mine) and I find that sometimes sliding my laptop in and out of the sleeve on my backpack or laptop case is difficult.
