For me. I'd suggest the following:
Macbook 13 inch - White
2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB memory
120GB hard drive1
Double-layer SuperDrive
Then I'd double the memory to 2GB and add on a copy of iWork '08 bringing the total to £974.00. Spend the rest on an ipod and learn about podcasts and iTunes U.
For me it works because I an take this set up anywhere and it works in any hotel room, airport or anywhere, and usually without my having to get technical to do so. Skype runs like a dream and the iPod allows me to get educated while standing in immigration queues. I also get about 4 hours DVD watching in-flight off a full battery (more if the DVD is dumped onto and played from the Hard Drive).
Don't wait for a new laptop to come out - there is always a newer, faster, better one around the corner. Freeze your requirement, make it last 3 years then start again.
200 people will now explain to you why this is the wrong decision and laptop for you.
