I would highly recommend the Dell Inspiron, from my experience. I am NOT
saying the IBM or the HP are bad ones, because I simply do not have any
experience with those two. I have a Dell Inspiron 7500 right now, and it
works VERY well. It has a 15" LCD and runs at 1400x1050 in windows and
XFree 4.0.x. It has an ATI Rage Mobility P with 8M VRAM, a very nice
card for a laptop, in my opinion. It has one built-in USB port, and you
can get two with a docking station. The sound card is an ESS Maestro
card, works flawlessly under windows and linux. (I am currently running
debian 2.2 on it, but red hat works perfectly on it as well.) As far as
the rest of your list of requirements and options, the dells can provide
everything in the required list and at least the first of your options.
I don't know about the firewire.
Hope this helps.
Matt
