Purpose? (desktop replacement? desktop enhancement? commuting use? travel?)
Size? (ultra portable, mini, small, fullsize)?
Price? ( cheap/used, $2k, $3k, $4k, $5k)
LCD? 10-15", 1024x480 -> 1600x1200
Pointing device? (Many people really care, some dells have both)
Compatibility/architecture/os? (Apple's g4 could be a consideration)
Wireless (some have the ability internally)
On the low end the sony picture book is popular, very portable. THe
vaio's are pretty popular on the low ish end, dell inspirons are
more expensive and popular, then the ibm thinkpads are more expensive
and popular.
Of all the features I've seen the coolest are nice LCD's, and
onboard/mini-pci for modem, ethernet, and wireless.
