new laptop suggestions - not the usual stuff

Ok folks, I know that this comes up from time to time, and I know very
well the FreeBSD laptop compatibility list (which rocks!), but I think
this case is different, and here's why.

I am looking for a new laptop that has the following features:

1) pointing stick in keyboard   *THIS IS A MUST*
2) AMD64 proc
3) better-than XGA display ((W)SXGA or (W)UXGA)
4) integrated and supported bluetooth
5) integrated and supported 802.11 a/b/g
6) integrated and supported 10/100(/1000) wired Ethernet
7) CDRW (not necessary, but nice)

So far, I have been stuck on the HP nc8000, and it meets every criteria
except #2 (not sure about #4).  I _really_ want #2, but would settle for
the nc8000 with Pentium-M @ 1.7GHz if there is no other alternative.

Oh yeah, and I will be running -CURRENT on it.

Suggestions?

Thanks all.
