Dell 700m
Recently bought Dell 700m during Singapore PC Show 2005 for my wife
Price: SG$1874
Spec:

• Pentium M 725 (1.60GHz, 2MB Cache, 400MHz FSB)
• 512M (2 pcs)
  
• DVD/CD-RW Combo
• 8 cell battery
• 80G HDD
• WinXP Home
• Bundle with Norton Internet Security (I have to buy something to avoid delivery charges)
• 1 Year Warranty
• Wifi a/b/g
• SD slot
  

Pros:

• Cheap (I can not found similar deal from other brand)
• screen is nice and crisp
• dvd/cd-rw built-in, no need to carry arround docking or external drive

Cons:

• keyboard is not full size (, . / is smaller than others) and Fn key for page-up page-down.
  
• Thick
  
• USB slot placement stacked with each other
• no common goodies like CF slot, infrared, bluetooth, serial port, and built-in microphone

Guide to install Debian on it: here and here

Conclusion: No regret, cheap and great.
