>Subject: PC/WindowsXP laptop recommendations

Hello LLTIers,

Leaving aside the discussion of the MacBook and MacBook Pro and their 
ability to boot Windows XP...

...I'm looking for solid (preferably experience-based) recommendations 
for PC laptops that are light in the luggage but pack reasonable power. 
  It is for a colleague who does a lot of overseas traveling and would 
like to upgrade from her fairly hefty and rather sluggish four-year-old 
Dell.

I've been doing mostly desktop buying lately, so have not kept up with 
the PC laptop market.  I've been reading the reviews, and I'm hoping for 
user testimonials here.  Anyone have a make and model in their laptop 
bag that they are dying to rave about?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Mark
