Perhaps the first thing to consider before choosing a laptop is how much you need to carry it around and what kind of multimedia features you need. The two are closely related.
Lighter laptops generally have smaller screens and fewer multimedia features but of course every kilo of weight saved makes a difference if you intend to carry it around a lot. For instance you might consider the Sony Vaio Z1RA which weighs about 2 kilos. The screen is 14.5 inches and the main features are quite good: a 1.6 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM and a 60GB hard-drive.
On the other end of the scale is a model like the Dell Inspiron 9300 which weights about 3.5 kilos. This extra bulk helps produce some great multimedia features though. You have a 17 inch wide screen and also two speakers including a sub-woofer which make it a great laptop for watching movies. The DVD writer comes in very handy for storing large multimedia files and the 128 MB ATI video card is essential if you want to play the latest games. These features are comparable to a good desktop and such models are often called desktop replacements.
