I'd avoid DSE if I were you, they can be a little over priced.

If you can find a corner comp shop you'd be better off in getting a good price. Also look at the Asus laptops, not necessarily the eeeeeeePC, but one of their normal note books. With around NZ$1200 you should be able to find a decent little book.
