Clevo / Alienware m7700 with the AMD64x2 3800, does 1920x 1200 - lots
and lots of options to choose from and it packs some serious processing
capability.

I had one for a short while, then swapped that for an Acer Ferrari 4005
( turion64 M34 ),  which is more of a portable machine rather than the
Alienware workhorse.

On Both of these machine's Linux support is out-of-the-box, even the
bcm43xx WiFi now works fine with the 2.6.15+ kernels.
