Dell D4xx.


At least it has the Pentium M processor, so you will get better battery life then the rest of the garbage you listed.
Personally, I have a D410 at work and its a work horse.

Get this one.

Refurb is better then used, the seller has a lot of feedback, even offers 30 day return.
Add another 512mb of ram, and its good to go.

It has a Pentium 3 - "M" which was better then a normal CPU, but still garbage.
Centrino really was the biggest leap forward when it came to low power consumption processors/chipsets from intel.

Plus the D410 has a built in CD which is better then having the dock. especially when the dimension and weight difference is marginal.

do you have that thing the memento guy had?

Oh my bad. It sits in a dock all the time, so I thought it was built into the machine.

Worst comes to worst if you need a CD drive, you can get an external one for 30 bucks.

lol, I knew that was coming. For such a cheap price though I can't say no. I certianly wouldn't buy straight from then though.
