<p>I recently bought two ASUS Zenbooks and absolutely love them. I bought the first one - weighs about 2 1/2 pounds and very light, so I decided to get a second one as a backup. Both laptops I bought on eBay used. They work amazing. Both computers were about 500 used. New they're about 1200. I'm extremely happy with both of them.</p>

<p>Wow, that eVerbatim place is uppidity. Their Thinkpad e540 is almost $1,100. TigerDirect.com is $619.00.That is a pretty big difference in price.</p>
<p>At least go to TigerDirect.com and see what they have. </p>

<p>From my own mistakes: </p>
<p>Buy lightweight, easy to carry. Get a good -sized screen (readback). Get a nice-sized keyboard. Get a brand name, one that has a good reputation. When looking at the "brains", go overboard. It is better to have too much brains than not enough brains. I think there is currently brains in the i3 (i5). (My brains are minimal, but you get the idea).</p>

<p>I've only had ThinkPads and they're great as far as keyboard and audio. My TP guy, Bob Bogutsky, died, so for my next machine, I might buy one here: <a href="http://www.everbatim.net/store" target="_blank">http://www.everbatim.net/store</a></p>
<p>I have configured all my laptops myself so I don't really need the configuration service that they provide, so I guess it'll depend on the price when I'm ready for a new machine.</p>
