The Compal EL80 is the latest in the line of Verified By Intel (VBI) notebooks we carry.  the EL80 is Core2 Duo compatible and has an impressive 15.4" WXGA screen.  With built-in camera, it truly is built with mobility in mind.

Here are the specifications on this computer. 

Here are the features that I really like about this computer:

    1.  The wrist rest is very comfortable.  There is a taper along the edge that doesn't catch my watch when I try reaching for the function keys. 

    2.  It has both PCMCIA and PCI-Express expansion slots where the S96J only has a PCI-Express slot.  I only have a PCMCIA slot in my current notebook, so when I upgraded my Sprint service, I ordered a PCMCIA card.  This means I could use my new Sprint card with this model and not have to upgrade again. 

    3.  Also, there is a sliding cover over the camera lense.  No more fingerprints on the lense, and nothing to lose.

So take some time and configure the notebook of your dreams, or see if you can configure one to meet your budget.
