[mana-chama]

There's currently a pretty good deal on a Dell Inspiron 600m from Dell Home. This is a nice little laptop that is about 4-5lbs, it also comes with a free wireless internet card, and upgrade to 512mb ram, you can also save another like $50 by downgrading the processor to a Celeron-M but I wouldn't recommend it.

This code can be applied to any laptop over $999 before rebates.



Not your cup of tea or too expensive? No problem there's also the following, less ram but more processing power, though more of a desktop replacement than mobile travler:
