What's the best Windows laptop with an approximately 15" screen, regardless of price? I need the following requirements: under 6lbs, has DVI (either built-in, or through a dock), has a semi-decent video card (not on-board graphics).

I second about the T60p. The only bad thing about it is that I CAN'T AFFORD IT! (damn...).

The Asus V6VA does not have DVI output from what I can tell. It doesn't appear to have a dock with DVI either.

Macbook Pro.
It's light, has DVI, good graphics, and looks nice, good batter life and now running windows on it is a piece of cake.

The macbook pro would be my pick if they had not underclocked the X1600 so much. I would say Acer 8204.

Will when i get my macbookpro 17 incher i will be able to compare it with my ibm t43p for you and let you know. But i will be biased since i really love ibm and this is going to be my first apple (and im really looking foreward for it).

But seriously i would stay with either one. Dont compromise on quality. Everyone here gave excellent suggestions.
