As I'm looking for an under-a-grand one, after doing more research, I'm now leaning towards either one of the Toshiba Satellite M55 series ones or an HP dv1000 which has surprisingly good features and design. (Surprising in that it's definitely not "my fathers" HP of yore.)

The Think Pad isn't bad at all if I want to jump up to $1,300. Has that fingerprint reader log-on and security features up the wahzoo. However as I don't plan on walking around with the secret schematics of a Fortune 100 company's new prototype death-ray satellite, think I'll go cheap instead.
