Thinkpad 2623-DAU.
I handle setting notebook standards as well as procurement for a University. This is the current model that we've adopted.
Here's a link for the spec's:

You should also get a 1GB RAM upgrade and a docking station part number 250510U. We've been purchasing 1GB Crucial memory upgrades because Lenovo has really hiked the prices on the Lenovo brand.
We've also been purchasing external LCD displays that attach to the docking station. These are the Viewsonic VX922 for about $280. You can also look at a Viewsonic VX2025 Widescreen for about $350.00.
I just bought about 20 of these notebooks last year.
We've been an IBM institution for 7 years now including throughout the Lenovo transition.
You can also go onto Lenovo's site and type in PSREF in the search to find the tabook.pdf. This lists every Thinkpad including the options and specs.

I find the laptops from Gateway, HP, Toshiba, and Dell to be about the same. In any case, consider an extended warranty.
Get a Core Duo and at least 1 gb of ram. Keep in mind that diskettes and serial ports are optional now (if that matters). Also I find they don't include PC Card slots any more so that can be a problem.

I am also going through the process of trying to pick the "perfect" Notebook Computer. From what I have read and heard, Sony VAIO is a great notebook, as well as Compaq (They are owned by HP though). It all depends on what you are expecting from it. You can pretty much customize any notebook computer at your local Best Buy/Comp USA.

My friend has a Lenovo and does not complain about it unlike his dad does from a Dell.

Don't buy an Acer from Walmart! My husband bought me one for Christmas and we had it turned on once for 30 seconds on Christmas day and the screen burnt out!
