If you're looking for something cheap ($500 - $750), look for an AMD Athlon II-based laptop. They're much better than AMD's older laptop chipsets and generally better than an equally-priced Pentium Dual Core. Faster, lighter, better graphics, supports virtualization (If you want to run XP Mode in 7 Pro/Ultimate), runs about as cool, and similar battery life.
