Whatever you get, if the installed o/s is not XP and you want/need to run XP, ensure the manufacturer has compatible drivers before you plonk down your money.

Unlike ordinary PCs, laptops/notebooks are full of custom hardware needing custom drivers. If they don't have drivers, they force you to run Vista or Windows 7.
