Ok, I will be getting another laptop, and I am interested in the HP Pavilion dv2000t . I have customized it to be liking, and I would like your opinion. I am going into High School, and I just want a regular laptop, none of that other stuff like way more memory then needed. I know people say more memory for games, and all that. I just want a simple one. The specs of the one I created are below. Please feel free to comment on anything I should add. Thx!!

I just bought a new dell inspiron 1520. I paid 1200 out the door with current dell discounts. I would recommend getting an Intel core 2 duo chip from the new Santa Rosa Line. The reviews have been amazing so far. Also your computer won't be outdated when you get it. Unless you are into hardcore gaming the basic Intel graphics card should be sufficient. You should get the 2GB in memory it well make life easier. If you have any other questions or want my computer specs let me know.

Yes you did not mention price. But you should consider a Core 2 duo CPU, the next generation. Check out the new Dell 1420.
Got a full review from NBR:
Conclusion
To reiterate, the HP dv2000t is a lightweight but powerful machine that's perfect for college or home/office use. Although it lacks in gaming performance for post-2004 3D games, it is a great solution for people who only do office work, listen to music, watch movies, etc. The webcam option makes the notebook great for Skype or MSN video chatting with its decent 1.3 Megapixel camera and 2 omni-directional microphones integrated above the screen. Aside from the cheap mouse buttons and glossy touchpad, the notebook feels very solid throughout. The 14.1" BrightView widescreen 1280x800 LCD and full size alphanumerical keys makes it comfortable for long-term typing and viewing.
Pros:
Clear and vibrant colors on widescreen LCD
Full-size buttons on keyboard
Plenty of ports
Lightweight and small; Can fit in most backpacks
Lots of configuration options
1.3 MP Webcam
2 headphone jacks
Very quiet
Good wireless connectivity
Good build quality
QuickPlay software to play DVD/CD/music without booting WinXP
Cons:
Sub-par battery life
Cheap mouse buttons
Glossy touchpad
Difficult to use QuickPlay buttons
Prone to fingerprints
Weak graphics processor
Cheap built-in speakers
