by under 15" I figured less-than-or-equal-to, right?

They are equivalent

but the Z70Va has more features

The Video cards are about equal. People like the Asus Z70Va better becuase it has a nice carbon fiber top and looks better then the Z71v.

I like the HP L2000, Its a 14.1in Widescreen with the Ati 200m integrated graphics solution.

Im still waiting to buy mine but I have looked at a few and they are nice machines for the price.

Some people have said there are heat issues but I havent seen it on the ones I have looked at but I would recommend the 12 cell battery.

Sure, you can try the MSI megabook S270. You can opt for an ML or MT processor. 12" widescreen 4 lbs, Ati X200 mobility

asus w3v, z63a

Try Xmeld.com. As far as I know they're the only ones currently selling MSI laptops...though that may change over time.

Xmeld also offers a 5% discount on currently enrolled students.
I am getting my s270 either on Monday or Tuesday.

mjcxp, I would not buy the 600m if I were you. It is a good deal for the price (that is its only real advantage that separates it from other similar notebooks), but I have heard bad things about its quality, things that were confirmed when I used one. It has a flimsy keyboard that flexes A LOT in the middle, The screen's image distorts if you press on the back (which flexes somewhat readily), it creaks from time to time when you pick it up at one end and/or corner and it overall feels cheap, plasticky and fragile.

I think you should get a Z33A with the extended life battery. it is 3.3lbs, 12inch screen, has an optical drive, is good quality and gets good battery life. It can't game, but thats why you have the 9300. If you have the money, consider the IBM/Lenovo T-series thinkpad. You can get 14 inch screen with a 9600 or X300 (both 64mb), with TOP NOTCH QUALITY, great battery life (again, get the extended life, and you can use the modular battery as well), and maybe enough juice for a non-intense game. (It depends on how you define non-intense; I play quite a bit of non-intense games like Civilization 3, Red Alert 2, and CnC Generals [for Generals, it depends on settings I guess, but I've played well on integrated graphics])

here's one that's actually UNDER 15' inches

Compal EFL 30, in the US it is sold as the Chembook 2030 and the Mwave FL30.

its a 14' wxga
graphics card: Nvidia Go 6400 (about equal to the ATi x600)
comes with built in mic and webcam
matte screen (non glossy) and is 5lbs. Battery life 3h45m on a 6 cell battery.
Price can vary depending on your config, but it is THE cheapest 14' wxga that has a dedicated GPU.

if you got money, there's the Asus W3V
