I carry one. It's a Sony VAIO I bought from wal-mart. Picked it up for about $997 I think. Came with DVD dual layer re-writable, 512mb memory, 60gb HD, 15.4" crystal clear bright screen. Integrated wireless. I went to newegg.com and upgraded it to 2gb of memory for about $150.
Works great and has taken one hella beating. The outside is scared all over the place but she runs great. Go to wal-mart and get you one if you need one just get a name brand and you can't go wrong.

I'll be getting the smallest, lightest one I can find next time.
Also a hawking long-range PCI wireless adapter comes in handy when your hotel doesn't have wireless...but the one down the block does.
