I've found this site that has (from what I can tell) really good prices for laptops.
http://www.ibuypower.com/mall/notebook.asp
I know they are not name brand but they seem like good deals and I do not want to break the bank.
I was wanting to get a 1680x1050 so I could watch high-def movies from it. Also want it to easily to run CSS like I mentioned before.
My only gripe/concern is how good the sound card is as I want to be able to plug the system into a 5.1 surround sound set that I will have hooked up.
Any computer guys give any more advice?
