ASUS is a very good brand and I like some of the choices they offer.

I just purchased an ASUS UL30A-A1. This is a 13.3" screen that is 1" thick and weighs less than 4 lbs. This particular laptop worked for me as I like the larger screen (versus a 10" screen) and the near-full size keyboard. This laptop also has an ultra-low voltage intel dual core processor which gives me more power versus an atom based processor. I also get a very long battery life of between 9-10 hours of normal computing (web browsing/spreadsheets/word processing).

There are a lot of very good priced options out there but the above is just my 2 cents.
