Laptop Hunt

I'm looking for serious laptop/notebook to use as my primary computing device for the next 5 years or so. I just found this page that seems very very informative. But I'd like your comments too.

Here's what I have in mind:
  1. A dual-core 64-bit processor (preferably, the AMD X2 series). I'd definitely want one with the hardware virtualization features.
  2. About a GB of RAM
  3. 80--100 GB of HDD, though I must say, 60GB seems okay too.
  4. 15" screen, preferably SXGA+
  5. Wireless + Fixed-line networking
  6. Works with Linux.
I'm not that concerned about power now, though I'd be interested to know how much time you get on your laptops.

You could have a look at the HP nx6325. It's got the dual-core Turion, 512 MB RAM as standard, and 60 GB HDD. All this for Rs. 50k (without taxes). Linux is not fully supported yet though. Apparently HP is hard at work on it.

Yep, Jugal also suggested the same.
