Which Laptop To Buy?

Everyone has agreed that AGP, DVD, >1GHz, etc. is what everyone will want. This does not seem to be the case with laptops. Every year, they manage to cram a bigger resolution screen, more system and graphical memory, more battery life into a less-than-two-inch thick plactic box. So, what are everyone's preferences as far as laptops go? What kind of features are most important? How does price enter the equation? Which one is best for the money? And especially, can you get a decent machine for under $1000?" I've been using the IBM Thinkpad T20 for the last year or so, and love the machine -- with the exception of the WinModem *sigh*. What else is everyone using?

    "Hi, I'm too fucking lazy to do my own needs assement and product research, so I'm hoping somebody will tell me what to do, so when I decide I don't like it, I can blame somebody else." gets posted, but the title of the next Star Wars movie gets rejected. But I'm sure somebody else will submit it, and a different /. editor will post it. But I'm not bitter.

    Nothing comes close to the Apple Titanium. All the Intel stuff is light years behind.
