Helio, Just purchased a Dell Vostros (w/XP Home) for my wife. US cost was $629 w/2G RAM, 160G drive, DVD-RW, built-in 2M videocam, and free shipping.
The unit looks like a tank. Big, bulky and solid. Very plain looking - no shiny surfaces or flashy LED status indicators. Simple keyboard. Battery sticks out the rear, but Dell claims 7.5 hour battery life. Screen looks decent. I wouldn't want to haul this laptop all over the place, but it seems like a very good value for the money. So far I'm pleased with out purchase. BTW: One of the biggest reasons I chose Dell for this purchase was the option for XP vs. Vista. Let us know what laptop you decide to go with.
