get a 15" dell vostro from the business section make sure you get the one with the 8600m graphics chip in(some you might need to select the upgrade, on the customise page but if you dont want the OS ring them up and ask for it in then)... its a dedicated graphics processor unlike the onboard crap you usually get.... will give you more tweeking with your display, and dell usually give ok screens?
vostro's give you more for your money just make out your a business/starting a business they probably wont even ask!
