IBM Think Pad T40 (1.3 GHz Pentium M, 40GB hard drive, 512 MB RAM DVD/CDRW drive)
I pay $600 a semester for it through my school. So I end up paying 2400 for it and get to keep it when I graduate. (I had one fresh and soph year which I turned in beginning of this my junior year for this new one, new every two
)
Got it from my school (Bentley College)
I love except I already had to replace the hard drive...but thats why I pay 600 a semester for it, replaced and back in my hands 3 hours later thanks to the technicians that will fix anything on my computer for free)
oh the $600 is technically a "technology fee" so its paying for all the fancy T3 lines and wireless all over the campus as well

Toshiba A25(2.66GHz, pentium 4, 40 gig, 512 ram, dvd/cdrw)
Payed 1400 from best Buy
Pretty nice.. only problem is there is a dead pixel... one dot is red on the screen. But im fine w/that. Its fast, long battery life, little bit heavy.. but oh well. Def. need to upgrade the memory and video card for heavy graphics programs though.

Dell Inprison 8200 1.6Ghz Pentium 4M, 512Meg (upgraded it from 256 off crucial), 64M GForce4 440 video, 30G HD, MiniPCI Dell Wifi card, DVD/CDRW drive, 2 USB 2, 1 firewire.
I paid a little over $1000 off Ebay for it. The next generations were out (8500's). It was a Dell refurbished job and came with MS works, Norton AV and XP Home.
I bought it cause it had good specs and was my primary system till I built my gaming rig. Now I wish I had bought something lighter. It has a 15" screen and weighs damn near 8 pounds so it isn't portable and has around ~2 hours battery life. I took it to Vegas with me and tried to watch some DVD's on the plane. I had to put the keyboard on my chest to even open the damn thing and see the screen and it didn't even make it through a complete run of Ronin. Dell makes a 300m and 600m that look good. The 300m is really lights but doesn't have a built in CD drive though. If I had to do it again, I would have gotten a 600m.

It really depends tho, if you're going to just type stuff and browse online with it, then a PII is fine. If you wanna watch DVDs and others, P3/Celery. Grapx processing and above then of course you need something better.
