Laptop question

[Jedi Master Carr]

I might be looking at getting a laptop in like two months. I just need something that is good for internet, email, and doing office type work. Any advise on what I shouldI look for?

I guess it depends on the size your looking for and what you are willing to spend. ;) I've been looking at some of the new MID subnotebooks as a possible option, but the small form-factor has a slight price premium compared to a similarly low-mid specced lappy. If you're going to be doing a lot on typing/ data-entry, well, the keyboards might be a little cramped.

I've been kind of looking at this one. For price/performance, it seems like the one to beat; plus it has a near-full-sized keyboard, but I won't plunk down my moila until some more formal tests/reviews come in.
