            I reccomend Dell, in November I got an Inspirion 6000, it runs pretty well with a similar spec as you just described, for a laptop you need about
 1.4 to 1.8Ghz CPU
 60GB + HDD I wouldn't go for anything lower
 512MB to 1GB RAM
 Get one with Mobile Technology, otherwise you will ahve to buy a seperate Wifi card if you want to go mobile.0

            i got external hard drive so 60gb will be fine for the internal one,0
