I'd recommend Vaio, if its within budget. They're a little pricier, but they're (in my experience, anyway) really solid and well built. Do Toshiba still make good machines? I know I seriously considered one back when I got my laptop, and I know they did the best in class Netbook earlier this year. Have a look, anyway.
Fuck Dell - the only good thing they 'make' are LCDs. I've never bought a Dell machine personally, but I know a few that have, and all except the most n00b of users have hated them or ended up hating them because they serially fuck up.
As for GPUs - unless you're really, genuinely, properly expecting to do some serious gaming - don't bother. You'll eke out more battery time and get a slimmer, cooler machine in the deal. I'd also try and go sans-disc drive, and just buy an external. Imo, anyway.
Have fun!
- Sorry - if you're planning on doing video work, a GPU might not be a bad idea.. it uses that shit, right?detritus
