"For the money?"

How much are you willing to spend?

Also, how important is weight?

I agree. The I6000 is a nice machine for the price.

Not that this is really the 'best choice for the money' but it's something I
would look into..

Dell 6000
Pentium M 1.5 - not the fastest..
15.4 UltraSharp Wide Screen UXGA - Nice wide screen (1920 x 1200 Screen
resolution)
128 MB DDR ATI Mobility Radeon X300 PCI Express Video - Pretty good for
games
Has the DVD media controls on the front, integrated wiresless... blah, blah
blah..

http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us...

Personally my favorite choice.. not too heavy and the screen/video combo are
pretty nice..

About $1,178 configured as above...

Latest Insipiron 6000 series is an excellent start. Behnchmarks very
good at pcworld.com, cnet.com and other reviews, fast, excellent, and
generally a desktop replacement to go.

I just got 30-35% off an Inspiron 700m. For the price it was an
insanely good deal and glad I got it. $2K got me a 4 year in home
warranty in addition to it coming fully loaded with a 2GHz P4, 80GB
hard drive, 512 RAM and DVD burner with a docking station and extra
battery. I did forget the free printer and MS Office Pro.
Incredible...

Any specific comments on the "feel" of the keyboard?

Dell 6000 keyboard is excellent - nice, crisp, well positioned, and
light enough touch to make typing a breeze. Definitely solid and
doesn't move or shake ala older Dell notebooks which had this 'problem'.

Recommended!

A "shaking" problem?

Never heard of it! <g>

Most people have said the Dell Inspiron 6000 keyboard is quite firm, as
in you need to press hard to avoid typos. But after about a week of
use, it will get softer. Also, if you're looking to buy a Dell, there
are often man coupons available (check the regular coupon/bargain sites)
and you can get them configured for a lot less. i.e. the laptop
configured below would have been under $1000 w/the coupon I used.
