Laptop Advice?

[swestrup]

It seems my client is thinking of buying himself a new laptop. He wants something to take on trips with him, and lightness and long battery life are his chief concerns. It doesn't need to be too powerful, as he's just going to be using it for email, MS word, and corel draw. He wants something with built-in wireless, but he doesn't need a huge hard drive or gobs of RAM. He'll be running Windows XP on it. He doesn't care about a large screen either. Naturally, the cheaper, the better.

Any suggestions from people who've shopped for laptops recently?
