What's the best inexpensive laptop to run Maya on? I'm trying to find a way I can work on my personal projects at my regular Joe job and I need an idea of a decent laptop under $1000 (preferably between $500 and $900 if possible) I can employ to do my bidding. Thanks as always!

BTW, can I hook a mouse up to a laptop to use instead of that clunky square mousepad?
