Dell Inspiron XPS w/ Mobility Radeon 9700 running the LCD in its native 
1920x1200 using the x.org radeon driver.  It's beautiful.

The built-in audio is nothing to write home to mom about, so to speak, 
but the only audio I ever do on a un*x box (not including my Mac, which 
is my platform of choice for audio editing and multitrack recording) is 
playing mp3s or listening to cds.

I don't use WLAN, so I can't speak to that.  It's just not fast enough 
for moving around large (500+ MB) audio files.  Thankfully, the built-in 
gig ethernet adapter is better suited for that task.  HTH.
