I bought a MacBook Air as my traveling computer and I just got back from my first overseas trip (Belgium) and it worked great. But if you are looking to mainly watch movies it may not be the best choice. I had a good year last year so this was my "present" to myself
I really like the full sized keyboard and the larger screen.

I just bought a latitude d410 from them 12 inch, light, for just over $400
They ship them next day, came with a case (really didn't need that) adapter, etc.
They refruib them, but for some reason sell them for way less then the standard dell refruib site does.
Very pleased with it so far.
30 day return, believe 90 day service.
I've not bought an off lease Dell Laptop, but I have had good luck in the past with the off lease desktop systems. The ones I bought all came sans Operating System so you might have to factor that in the price (if laptops are the same)
