Right now, I think the MSI Wind U100 is a nice safe bet. You can find some floating around for P20,000 (brand new) - that already includes 2 gigs of RAM and the Intel Atom processor (not the anemic VIA ones that are on the HP Mini-Note). You can even install a Mac OS on it, and everything will work out of the box except for wireless I think (which kind of defeats the purpose), but then you can argue that you're already hacking it so some legwork is expected.
Next-gens will probably set you back further to the P25,000 range since the hardware is newer, and it'll probably be less modifiable since they've locked down their respective consumer markets more.
