I have a 60gig hard drive with over 500 techno tunes, 10 games, programs like Photoshop, Corel Draw, DJ mixing software, 6 different scanners to keep your computer clean, and dozens of other small programs. All this is only using 37gigs. So if your not going to be storing huge video files, or loading up 5,000 tune, or 100 games, You will have plenty of space with a 60 or 80gig hard drive.
The C2D is the best processor on the market, and you can go slower then the 2.0Ghz, the 1.83Ghz model T5600 is still an excellent choice.
I would strongly suggest 2gigs of memory especially if you do multi tasking, but seeing you are on a budget you could go with the 1gig of ram for now, and later on when you have some spare cash 6 months from now or whatever you could add another 1gig stick. Or if it works fine, just leave it with the 1gig ram.
So the Sony configured this way will put you in your budget range:
15.4" WXGA TFT with XBRITE-HiColor Technology and MOTION EYE Camera
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5600 / ICD 1.83 GHz
1 GB DDR-SDRAM (DDR2-533, 1 GBx1) Windows Vista Premium Ready
80 GB Hard Disk Drive
DVD+-R DL_DVD+-RW_DVD-RAM Drive
Grand total $1279.99

Also check out some of these Asus notebooks. They have a huge line up.

EDIT: there are many other computers out there besides Sony with the configuration you want, but are slightly more, so if you decide to go with the Sony make sure you don’t configure it with the 2(512) sticks but rather the 1gig stick so you can upgrade to the 2 gigs later if you decide.

Dell likes to give a special deal each week. Sometimes, Dell gives free upgrade to 2GB RAM, like my new laptop. I got a free upgrade from 1GB to 2GB Dual Channel DDR2, which is really awesome.
