    Powerbooks are nice, although it gets somewhat thinner.

    Try www.dynamism.com

    Thinkpads are also pretty nice.

    T series thinkpad would deliver everything you're asking for, and last you long time.

    Of those two, only the S series. The K is awful.

    Another vote for IBM, they make the best laptops in my opinion. I haven't seen someone who managed to unintentionally break an IBM.

    How about an Averatec laptop? They all fit that budget, so I can't think of a specific one.
