whatever you get you should put it in a big *** plastic bag because i took mine to iraq and 1 sandstorm later it was fucked.. when i got home it took like 5 hours with the compressed air cans to clean.

For up to 1500 build your self a laptop based on an Asus barebone.. I use them all the time on customers and they are rock solid. I have built around 5 or 6 of them and non have them have had a single issue.

Asus actually makes a lot more laptops than you'd think. The new small dell and mac notebooks are all made by asus.
What you'd be buying is a laptop shell with everything but ram, harddrive, and cpu, and sometimes dvd player (depends oin model)..then you pick order some ram a harddrive and a cpu that best fits ur needs and budget. voila. amazing laptop for an affordable price. ewiz.com is where i usually end up buying my barebones from. directron.com has a few as well, and newegg has a small selection

ohh yeah, and if your going to deploy, ensure you have a good DVD player, good speakers and a good video/sound card. You will be using it alot. if you want to, also have a decent side HD to store some movies so your not lugging them around. Or pick up an external HD to put them on.

I'd be careful buying the Lenovo Thinkpads until I hear more feedback on them.
