Many of the requirements you might have would affect what you should look for.  I would think that low price might be your deciding factor since the price must stay under $1000.  The Compal I have now would come in its default configuration for $1100.  I required low weight and Nvidia graphics, everything else was secondary. If you could spend some more money on it, you could really do well.  Look at www.dynamism.com for some really long battery life and low weight laptops that are very cutting edge with no guarantees on the Linux side.  Have you already bought something?

I'm still looking.

I want cheap.  I do not care about weight.  I don't travel much.   15"
screen is okay.  I need a resolution bigger than 1024x768. I currently
have a ze1250 and it has served me well.
