Take a look at the Dell Inspiron E1505. Check the Dell Outlet store and you can find some nice deals. I just ordered a new one from there last week. C2D, 1 gig of ram, 120Gb hdd, DVD burner and 15.4" widescreen with Windows XP Media Center. Under $800.

Dell is excellent for cheap laptops. They are relatively reliable and have pretty good service compared to other manufacturers. I would recommend upgrading your warranty though (at least two years with CompleteCare). Other than that the current base specs should work well.
