Apple's laptops are undeniably the best... and the 12" powerbook w/ superdrive is awe-inspiring:

And you can get that for $1699 from the Apple educational store.

I'll admit the thing isn't the premiere gaming system, but it's 4.6 pounds and it has up to 5 hour battery life. Also, it has a CD-RW and DVD-RW combination burner. Try one out... they're awesome.

DELL

I got a Dell Inspiron 1100 at work for ~$1200 2 weeks ago:

(off the top of my head)
2.2GHz P4 15" XGA
256MB RAM
30GB HD
24x CD-ROM
WinXP Pro
Works Suite 2003 (I know, :ghey:, but we only needed Word for this Laptop)

Free Dell Nylon Carrying case
Free Palm Zire PDA

They currently don't have the above 2 free deals, but I'm sure they'll come back...

Grab an Inspiron off Ebay. I got my 8200, 1.6Ghz P4M, 256 (upgraded to 512), 30G HD, Ge4Force 440 64 Meg, 15.4" 1600x1200 screen, DVD/CDRW drive and built-in wifi for $1000. I love the damn thing and with an optical mouse and nice keyboard, it's not a bad gaming machine. Heavy though so don't plan to carry it without a backpack or something.

i got both for under 2000
my laptop is 600mhz with an external CD drive but its good to haul since its 3.2 lbs, i added a wireless card since VT has a "B" network.

my desktop is 3ghz, 9600 pro, 160gb raid 0, gig ddr400

Dude, you go to VT?? I'm going there this fall as a freshman.
