make sure its a moblie processor. Centrino or Celeron M. Way better battery life. Of course that means you'll be around the 1.6ghz range, but thats fine for what you're needing to do. Most notebooks will have built in wifi. Don't buy anyone with less than 512mb ram. Centrinos are noticably faster than the celerons...larger cache.
Other stuff like TFT monitors or "brite" monitors are more personal preferrences.
We sell mostly acers, have been pretty bulletproof for us so far. Sold a few hundred this year so far, and i'd be able to count the ones with hardware problems with both my hands...
