So, I am trying to wade through the info I have gathered on several systems and narrow down choices from the following:

Toshiba Satellite M55-S135 PC Notebook
Toshiba Satellite M45-S165 PC Notebook

Compaq Presario V2310US PC Notebook (w/AMD Turion 64 Processor ML-28)
Compaq Presario V2311US PC Notebook (w/AMD Turion 64 Processor ML-28)
Compaq Presario V2306US PC Notebook

HP Pavilion DV1310
HP Pavilion DV1040 (refurbished)
HP Paviliion ZE series notebook

Again, any comments or suggestions anyone may care to make regarding any experience or ideas about any of these choices would be appreciated. TIA

It'll pretty much all come down to pricing and esthetics of the machine. I've posted it a 1000 times, but I love my HP DV1040 series. Not a big Toshiba fan anymore. You really don't need (or want) an AMD Turion CPU at the moment.
