Hmmm, BTD, the list of things you want your laptop to do is exactly what I'm looking for in a laptop too. It'll be interesting to see what you find.

I've been checking out the Gateway laptops sold on HSN.com and the IBM thinkpads sold on QVC. They're just too pricey for me, but they sound fabulous. And I really hate thinking of buying anything from Best Buy, even if I can fix it myself. Their customer service is pretty bad.

How is Fry's selection of laptops?
