 Re: New laptop under $800 needed
If you don't care that much about raw performance why not look into the new CULV (Consumer Ultra Low Voltage) Intel systems, like the Acer Timeline? I don't particularly like Acer, but there are several brands with them already. It's the ones that the CPUs are marked as SUxxxx or Core Solo. You get very good battery life, very good weight/screen size ratio, and much better performance than a netbook. Oh and the prices are around 600-700 bucks.
