I want a Laptop...eh, what do they call them now, a Notebook!
Yes, I do. I really don't need one. My excuse is that maybe I'll write more if I have one. I can use it in the living room or any room of the house. I can go to the local cafe and sit out in the open and write. (Yeah, yeah, I know I can do all this and a lot cheaper with a pen and a notebook.) But lately the bug has been there and I really want one. Today as a break from the hospital I went brousing laptops, eh I mean notebooks. When did they go from being called laptops to notebooks? I figure that I want one in the thousand dollar range or cheaper. I want one with a big memory for the harddrive and fast. I found one at CompUSA that had an 80 gb memory and was 3.2 ghz processor. I think it was last years model, cause it was on managers special. For the same price, the same company offered one with a 2.0 ghz processor. So what I want anyone reading this to tell me is what should I look for in a notebook. Any suggestions on some good ones, remembering the price limit. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

I know nothing about them; however, I'm wondering if it will really give you the opportunity to write more. It all depends on why you aren't writing... If you arent' sure, I heard that WalMart (yes, WalMart) is putting out a model for ~$500 this year. If you find that it does in fact prompt you to write due to the flexibility, then you can write a few pieces, get oodles of money, THEN buy a nice new, fast one. I'll even paint racing stripes on it if you think it'll make it go faster. =)
Consumer Reports usually has a PC issue and the magazine PC World has tons of info but is really technical. If I think of anyone or come across decent resources, I'll pass it on.
Interestingly, I wrote quite a long post a while back and made notes for it via good old-fashioned pen and paper. I really like that old method... felt like it was the 'nitty-gritty hands-on' approach. Plus for me, I detest the keyboards on notebooks; awkward.
