I've got an Acer Ferrari 4005WLMi: It's around $2000, but is an over-all excellent machine: AMD64 ML-37, 1GB DDR333 (though its upgradable to 2GB DDR400, don't know why they ship with DDR333), 15.4" 1680x1050, Radeon X700 PCIE 128MB, 80GB HDD, DVDRW, Bluetooth, 802.11G, VGA+DVD+SVIDEO out, and most importantly (and the reason I bought it) an great overall build quality with a carbon-fiber lid and rubberized keyboard area...definitely not a flimsy piece of plastic like other laptops I've seen. Plus it looks cool (its a Ferrari, so of course it does). The DVI and SVIDEO outputs are a nice addition if you want to hook up to a monitor or television at home. Good battery life with the 35W Turion (although a 25W Turion would be better). Its a bit on the expensive side, a bit heavy at around 6.3lbs, and the fan is a bit loud, but if you're looking for a desktop replacement you'll be hard pressed to find one that isn't. Plus you can't really customize it, although I hear there are some places that'll buy it and upgrade the RAM for you, but the proccessor is pretty hard to get to. Not impossible though (I have the manual), so if you want to upgrade to a faster proc (or even the very slightly more expensive MT series with 25W instead of 35W power usage) you can do that, and I know of some people that can help with that.
Oh, and I bought from newegg.
