Time to Buy a New Laptop

I have lugged a Sony Vaio around the last 5 years and its been great..just over 2 pounds or so. But it is starting to wear out and it s past time for a replacement. Any suggestions? Weight is the big factor and cost off course is too!
Thanks

Toshiba's have always done me right. They can take a beating.

If you are at Fedex, just wait for the PDD (we all know what it stands for) and buy a USB hard drive for all your personal stuff. That way if it gets broke or stolen the company replaces it.

Mac makes a very light laptop. Cost is not a strong point of the MacBook Pro.

I have to throw my hat in favor of the Mac also. Got three laptop mac's now and will NEVER

go back to the Microsoft world. Should have never left in the first place, but oh well.
