I bought the laptop - a Toshiba Satellite 2450-201.
The main reason I chose that one is because it's QUIET. Seriously. I can't hear it unless I put my ear to the underneath. It will play films, has S-Video out.
I've been wanting to buy a laptop for about 5 years now. And as it's end of line (Yeah, I know, P4 2.4 laptop end of line? But apparently so.) it only cost me £900.

Date: 2003-09-08 06:32 am (UTC)I'm beginning to regret buying mine when I did. I paid £999 for a 900MHz Celeron, w/128MB of RAM, 10GB disk, and a plain DVD. Still, such is life. I think when I replace it I'll get an iBook, or a Dell, probably off eBay.
Are you going to keep XP on it, or install a proper OS? (Having said that, mine dual-boots XP Pro and Debian.)
