I imagine that LG is rebranding someone else's laptop, but I'm not sure who's...

In any case, I need to buy, for work, a 15.4" laptop with an integrated 10-key pad.  Weight is an issue, which rules out the various 17" models (Dell, HP, Toshiba).  Any suggestions?  Price is a consideration as well.  Also, a docking station will be needed, or a port replicator with video capability.  One of my issues with the LG above is I couldn't find a replacement/spare AC adapter that was specified for that model.  I'm relatively sure that one could be found, but I imagine it would be specified for whoever actually makes this laptop.  In any case, an extra AC adapter is important if the manufacturer doesn't make a docking station specifically for the model.

Help me internets... I have Googled my ass off.

So, any suggestions? What does your gut say?

Well, what I told my sister was to haunt dealnews.com and dealcatcher.com until you get a sense of what's a good deal. Dell in particular often has really big sales that lead to great deals. The Lenovo outlet periodically has some steals, too.

Beyond that, I don't really pay attention to the market much, so don't really know how that one compares.
