I just picked up an Asus u6e and I love it LOVE IT. It's got the core duo centrino, pretty low power consumption, quite nice video. There were really only two things I needed to do to get it running - pick up a USB wifi dongle because the intel 4965agn driver is still in development, and to make use of the Intel GMA950 card, uninstall xf86-video-i810 and install the xf86-video-intel (in ports).

It's a lovely, lovely little machine. The display is apparently LED-lit, making its power consumption relatively low. It's in your price range, so I'd suggest giving it a look.
