Have you tried looking at manu sites directly, I find this helps. What are you going to be using it for, games, coding, browsing, homework, hacking. What OS XP, MACOS, Linux.

I bought an Asus L3800C 5 years ago in Melbourne, thats still working fine to this day so I would heartily recommend the Asus range of laptops. Not sure on spec but just make sure it takes lots of RAM. My old Asus was the only one on the market that to took 1GB RAM back then, came with 512MB as standard. :-D

in addition to Franks questions how much do you want to spend, and what's the maximum that you're willing to spend?

That which you can afford.

And like cars, expect a ~50% depreciation after 3 years.

If you're struggling developing software, then I'd recommend gardening.
