If you want XP, make sure that the manufacturer supports it and provides drivers.
I'd like a 17'' screen, but generally it looks like you're paying around 200 bucks more to upgrade from a 15.4". I'd like to, though.......

Looked at some HPs last night and they look pretty nice, and affordable. A couple of review sites I looked at gave them decent ratings, as well.
