Dell XPS M1530 with nvidia GeForce 8600M GT
The machine is now 2 years ago so I reckon that nvidia has been superceded.
But all the high end Dells have hi-res screens as an option. You won't find
them on the budget and student ranges - those are cheap crap with hardware
specs to match.
I figure that just like a top-grade mechanic should be looking at SnapOns or
similar in his toolbox, this here sysadmin also needs high quality tools. My
chief tool is my notebook.
