Where I work, all the BD people have Dell Latitude D630 laptops. (Some 
of them even have UK keyboards...) They seem fairly small, light, and 
with a decent screen. Few other positives.

Note that we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars with Dell every 
year, and they *still* don't give a damn about giving us any support - 
in spite of the numerous extra support contracts we pay for. I find it 
highly unlikely that they're going to care about a retail customer at all.

We also have one HP laptop - I think it's an nx4200 or something. Nice 
thing to look at. I can't reinstall the OS though, since you have to 
have special IDE drivers before Windoze can "see" the IDE controller. 
(WTF?) Also, HP don't supply a restore CD. When you turn the laptop on, 
you configure it with a bunch of settings, and *then* it burns a 
recovery CD for you - this CD doesn't restore to factory condition, only 
to the condition when the CD was burned. Gee, thanks.

Never tried Lenovo.
