Comment Replace your LCD? (Score 1) 672
If you have no qualms about your current laptop, why not replace the LCD? eBay the model you need and part swap. Could keep you under the 100$ range if you're lucky.
Otherwise, I'm a fan of the T series as others here have mentioned even though I no longer have one (Sister ran off with it). I purchased a Fujitsu P7010D and have yet to find something as capable in the same size package.
You didn't mention your screen size requirements so it's difficult to make a good suggestion.
