I like the Toshiba Sattelite A something or other P63 I believe. It's 1700 before rebates, and it has 100gb hard drive, 3.0+ GHz Intel. 17" Widescreen. It's a nice laptop, last I checked BestBuy had it for around 1500 after rebates.

I don't play on doing anything crazy with it. Music, movies, pictures.

I have heard a lot of good things about the quality of ASUS laptops. I havent used one myself, so I cant tell you first-hand what they are like.
Regardless of manufacturer of laptop, I recommend getting one that has a Pentium-M CPU (which is part of Centrino Technology). P-Ms are powerful, run at low temps and clock speeds, and as a result, laptops that use Centrino usually have a long battery life.

Some say that Dell's lappys ain't too bad, but the way I see it is that it still says 'Dell' so I ain't touching it.
HP's lappys are pretty good, as are Compaq's. You can get the HPs with an AMD Turion CPU, though.
NewEgg carries lappys, too.

I heard the same thing about Dell laptops, Trotter, but it goes against everything I believe in to buy something bearing the name "Dell".
I hear Toshiba is good.

Laptop
Had my Dell Laptop for about a year now and very happy with it. I use mine as a desktop replacement office/home and don't do much travel . It's battery life is short, but it is powerful for a laptop. The newer mobile CPU's would give you a better battery life , as previous posts state. I guess it all depends on your need for speed...
