I recently bought a $600-700 amd powered acer, then spent <$50 for 512MB more ram so it has 768M now. Battery life is <2hour but I could have bought a spare battery or bigger capacity battery if that were an issue.
It super fast compared to the old one and has ethernet/wifi/vga out, all the goodies I'd want except serial port, but no modern laptop has a serial port.
The drive came with some unpartitioned space on it (presumably so the customer could setup a data drive). I used that to install SuSE 10.1. It dual boots perfectly and SuSE is so far 100% compatible with the notebook.
