I am looking for a laptop that I can use to watch movies from time to time. Screen quality is most important although I want it to be with these specs (min.):

Centrino 2 (P8400 is sufficient)

DDR3 RAM (I guess DDR2 is okay, though)

GPU can be Nvidia or ATI (but, I will use Linux on it so maybe I should really look for Nvidia?)

Wifi card: agn N-wireless (was looking at Intel 5300)

Screen Resolution: WSXGA+ ???? (please recommend)

LCD Type: prefer LED Backlight

So, are there any that fit all of these requests? I can't seem to find one. There's always one spec that is omitted or not included. ;)

The closest I've seen is the Sony Vaio Z570 and Z590 series which is only lacking the Intel wifi card 5300 but it does have the 5100.

I am also interested in the upcoming Dell Studio XPS 13 and XPS 1640 line. I think there will be a M1340 as well to come out. I thought I might wait to see what these are like but if you can recommend a laptop, that would be appreciated!

I will not do much gaming on but it's a general-purpose notebook, multimedia (movies/music) and I was going to pursue something portable but maybe I should just choose whatever one has all the specs I want and which has decent quality?

I can't decide yet! If you could offer some ideas, that would help!! :)

Oh.... 2K. I can go over a little over if there is a good reason.

A Sager 8660 is a nice choice here. You get a wonderful selection of displays, too.
