    Trophy Points:

    Processor:
    Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor at least 2.53Ghz
    or maybe a
    Intel® Core™2 Extreme, only if its is good on battery life like the Centrino

    Operating System : Windows Vista (64-bit), doesn't matter what version.

    Memory:
    At least 3GB, prefer 4.

    Screen:
    Minimal 16", Full HD (1900x1200p)

    Hard Drive:
    320GB with free-fall protection
    or
    SSDrive no less than 128GB, only if notebook design only allows for a slim-hard drive (thin-laptop)

    Optical Drive:
    Blu-ray Reader/Burner (single/double layer)

    Wireless:
    At least 802.11n (wireless N) with Bluetooth. (a fast one maybe an Intel Nextgen)

    Battery:
    Needs to last long (5-6 hours the least).

    Media Center:
    HDMI and VGA output
    and maybe a tv-tuner

    Graphics:
    Unsure about this one. Needs to be able to output full 1080p Blu-Ray to HDTV. Needs to be decent for gaming, something that can play Bioshock at High Settings, or maybe Crysis at med to high settings.


    Warranty:
    Minimal 3 years
    with LoJack if offered.

    Budget:
    $2100 - 2700.

    Im looking for a thin design laptop, nothing bulky like alienare or HP. To give you an idea of what I want, something thin like a macbook or Voodoo. Or are there any laptops out there that are thin like that or close to it that are powerful with the specs that I want, or should I wait a bit, maybe around 2009, I heard rumors of way better processors, and very thin powerful laptops coming out.

    Any input is much appreciated. Thanks.

    Not going to happen, this is a high end laptop you're after, which are thick due to the complexity of the components, and more specifically, the blocks required to cool them properly.
