    Hi all. I have a W3V and love it. Wish we could afford another one for my wife, but we only have ~$800 to spend. The major requirement is that it is light and has a good screen. It will only be used for word processing and email. Right now she is using an old Dell that weighs a "ton" in her words. I was thinking of something with a ~14" monitor. Any suggestions on a good notebook in the $800 price range??? Thanks.

    A Dell e1405 core solo can be had for under $700 (5.3lbs 14" screen) without any coupons, so I'm sure you could get it cheaper or better if you're patient and wait a little while for Dell to throw some deals around.
