Looking for a new laptop
My laptop was ever so kind to inform me that it is on its last legs this evening, thus I am in the market for a new laptop. I don't need anything hugely powerful, but if it could run FE that would definitely be a bonus. I'm thinking of getting a Dell since my last four computers have been Dells and this laptop's impending death is the first real problem I've had with them. Anyone have any suggestions other than Dell for places to look at?

Just be clear I'm not interested in getting a Mac.

Getting notebooks can be cheap. Getting one that will run FE maybe not so much. You have to get out of the standard on board GPU and into one with a separate nvidia or ati inside. That will bump the price up usually. That said, here is one that should run it. It is on sale it seems for a little over a 1000.

Now if your looking for something for just writing, then I am going to recommend the new Acer Aspire One which should be coming out this month I believe. It is supposed to be 10 inch screen and advertised at 7 hour battery life. The cost is supposed be between 300 and 400 dollars so it is much more affordable.
