Thats a hard one.

First to get something moderately decent its gonna have to be used.

Second its gonna have to be one of those cheap *** huge deals. The ones that use desktop processors for price not speed (Pentuim 4Ms are like $400!)

Just stay away from Dell.

check out one of the HPs with with an Athlon XP-M. You can get one of those from most retails stores for around you price after rebate.

You should think about getting an AMD, because the Pentium 4M and the Pentium-M(Centrino) are both WAY out of your price range. Or you should think about spending a few hundred more dollars and getting something decent.

If you can spend 1000 dollars I would suggest you get the Acer TravelMate 290 with the Pentium-M 1.3 Ghz.

Gateway (http://www.gateway.com/work/prod/sb_ptb_m305.shtml)
Gateway M305s
$799, and it will do pretty well.
I bought a 450sp + a few months back....
(M305s is the "newer platform")

If you're willing/able to go Mac then you can get a nice PowerBook for around $750 on eBay. It'll be an older one with like a 500MHz G4 but it'll deffinetly do what you want it to. You said 2d right? Little to no 3d. And one of those would probably even run 3d stuff if you wanted, just not super well. Just my 2 cents:)
