Go for a Toshiba Sattelite Pro. Its a bit heavy, but what do you expect for a laptop with a 16" display? Plus, Toshiba's laptops are damn Industrial grade machines. I haven't come across a laptop that well built yet. There's a Pro model perfect for gaming too. Its basic spec is something like:
P4 2.0Ghz,
64Mb Geforce 4
512 RAM (max upgrade: 1024)
with the usual assortment of disk drives and ports etc.
In my experience,
Acer = crap
Dell = decent (and they've got the best customer support of ANY laptop company)
HP = crap (because its only a repackaged COMPAQ, which is the crappiest of them all)
VAIO = decent. If you want a multimedia workstation and you have other Sony products, (like a digicam etc) then its more than decent.
I've worked with all these machines before, and Toshiba and Dell are the only laptops I would recommend apart from a Mecer, which I dont suspect you have cause its built locally here.
