I recently got an HP nc6220 at work.  It has 1400x1050 with i915 (which has 
DRM support) though you'll need 915resolution from ports to get 1400x1050 
working.  It is a centrino box, and the wireless button turns the iwi radio 
on and off which is nice.  It also has a real DB9 serial port on the right 
side near the back.
