This 13.3-inch screened laptop from Toshiba takes a no-nonsense approach to look and feel. It ships with Vista Business pre-installed but a recovery disc lets you revert to Windows XP if you prefer.
While I found the keyboard a bit spongy for my tastes the absence of shortcuts keys peppered around the place was refreshing. Users who don't like the plain and simple approach may disagree with that view, though.
A 200Gb hard drive should cater for most needs, and a webcam sitting above the screen is really handy - I don't understand why almost all laptops don't incorporate one.
