your gonna kick yourself, they had a HP notebook last week, I believe it was centrino, for $999, it went back up to $1200 now. Mitch, try to look for one with an 8-cell battery, that coupled with a (intel) Centrino or (AMD) Torino (Turin) processor, will get u really good standby times, like 4 hours max. if u need s-video out,then hp/compaqs generally have that, if you can only find composite video out, not to worry, you can easily put an adaptor plug on it and you have s-video. Stay away from MDG, even though Steve Nash says theyre "The Best"
