The new Toshiba Satellite M105 is a nice core duo spec laptop with a nice price tag! If you are wanting something less expensive but not lacking performance then this is for you. It will be on the market for $1050 direct, cheaper at retail. It only weighs 5.2 pounds.
The screen is a wide 14.1" running at 1280x800. It has a 100Gb HDD, DVD+R DL disc drive. Battery life is not too bad either at 3 hours 38 minutes. Other features are FireWire, S-Video, USB, card reader and such 
Enjoy!
