Consider what you are using it for. Is it for games or for normal school activities? Or would you also see the weight as an important issue too?  If you just want a laptop for normal uses, that means you don't need high graphic games, why not consider a light weight laptop? It's just as powerful as a full-sized laptop except that the graphics card may not be able to support high intensity graphic games.

The current laptops sold in SP have a minimum of an integrated 4500MHD graphics, which you will be able to enjoy the HD movies that you have. If you are looking for a gaming PC replacement laptop, why not look for a graphics card like ATI HD3670 and above? Those will have a graphics card with GDDR3 graphics card, which will be able to take on high intensity graphic games. The current laptops will also have an Intel Centrino 2 mobile technology, a 4GB DDR3 ram (2 x 2gb DDR3) [note, only a 64-bit OS may be able to fully use all 4GB, 32-bit OSes can use around 3-3.3GB only) , a DVD drive, at least a 250gb HDD. That is the minimum for a laptop bought in SP though.

I wouldn't say a netbook is no good, but the display size is too small, making your eyes cry.  But there are netbooks which the specifications are comparable to the normal laptops. Such as the ASUS N10, which has a Nvidia Geforce 9300 M , which the Fujitsu L1010 sold in school also has it.. So N10 will also be able to take on high graphic games. ASUS N10 also has a facial recognition technology , similar to the Lenovo ideapad. So ASUS N10 is a good choice for a netbook. Sorry I did not manage to get the video up for ASUS N10 preview.
