I know we have a plethora of these "I'm buying XXXX, what should I get" threads, so here is one more.

My USB ports on my current laptop are fucked up and can't connect anything, which is a problem. I posted about this but other than "uninstall/reinstall drivers" I didn't get much feedback!

So anyways, that's one of the reasons why I am looking for a new laptop.
Here is what I want:

small/light (my present computer is a Dell 700m)
fast processor
medium hardrive (greater than 160 preferably) but nothing extravagant like a SSD
don't really care about video card
don't care about aesthetics
oh yeah, and a WORKING USB ports
cost less than $1500

other than the USB port fucking up now, I've had no problem with a Dell and was looking at their XPS M1330

any other recommendation/reasons why?

and I swear, if anyone recommends a MacBook Air....
