    New Laptop for Xmas

    I'm gonna have $1000 for a new laptop come Xmas time. I know it's a little early but I'm not up to speed on laptops. I require DVD/CDRW combo drive, 30GB or greater HDD, 10/100 LAN, and at least 256MB DDR. Any input would be very welcome. I will primarily use it for road trip movies and mp3 storage. I write short stories and poetry so I will also be writing whenever and wherever inspiration strikes me so battery life is an issue.

    Newegg has a nice 2GHz Celeron Toshiba with a CDRW/DVD drive for about $900. Any good? I read the post about Toshibas not being too good.
