Notebooks/Laptops for the Professional Academic

I would be curious to know what laptops folks out there are using (with success).  I am shopping for a lightweight (lightweight!) laptop to tote around to conferences and such, and I have absolutely no clue where to start.  I do not use fancy stuff – just Word, Excel, Powerpoint.  And I refuse to use a Mac.  I fear change.  Old dog, new tricks, etc. etc.

Thoughts?
