Avoid Acer at all costs. They aren't good at all. Toshiba, IBM, and Dell are all good brands. If you have family who are military you might want to ask them to use their military discount (I know Dell gives this discount).

The first requirement was that it be light because I will be travelling with it. This means that you don't go with the larger monitor (unless this is a priority with you, I selected a Toshiba (they have a good rep) Satellite -- not the top-of-the-line model but the salesman assured me that it would be adequate so long as I weren't playing games. It hasn't travelled far and I haven't done a great deal of genealogy but it seems OK. I've also been told that Acer is a good brand to look for -- however, I would not buy the bottom line on this one. My son-in-law got the bottom line and immediately traded up.
