Macbook Pro... 1440x900 on the 15.4", which I'll grant you could be suitable, but ATI Radieon graphics chip is the killer.
You're right on the Toshibas. No model isn't a behemoth yet pixel packed.
Dell has a suitable laptop, but it's *expensive*. The minimum specs are above $2,000!
HP's site is fairly confusing... and their phone service is broken. I can't even Skype in. Alas, poor HP. You won't be getting my Omnibook 6000 back.
Gateway's all ATI. Out!
Strangely enough, the IBM/Lenovo 3000 N100 fits the bill, and configured correctly is at $1500.
Velocity Micro, a Best Buy affiliate, has their L80 Ultra out. I saw it in Best Buy up in Baltimore, and it's a $2000 laptop fully rigged up through them. $1835 if I go directly to them online. Plus, they're built one state down in Virginia.
Sony's shoving me into the 17" screen, so that's out.
Newegg's selling the ASUS V6J-8022P NoteBook at $1800, which also is similar to the Velocity Micro.

Not sure about MSI, ABit, Aopen, and others...
