I am embarrassed to report that I again forgot to say everything needed.
I have an "e-port-replicator", which is dell-speak for something you
plug the laptop into and which then has a bunch of ports, including
displayport. My current laptop plugs into the replicator fine and does
indeed drive the 2560x1600 display.
All the new machines I am considering do support the e-port-replicator
so the only question I see remaining is whether the intel 4000 can drive
all these bits. I haven't yet got a definitive answer from dell so was
hoping someone here knew.
Thanks and sorry for not giving the info initially.
