Toshiba Satellite P205-S6287 is priced below $1500 and comes with 2GB RAM and a 17″ LCD screen. This notebook is powered by the 1.73 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 processor with 200GB hard drive and dual layer DVD/CD burner.
But battery is nothing to be proud of (gives less than 2 hours). You will definitely need an additional battery! Built in keyboard and mouse pad is good.
This laptop comes pre installed with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center features for turning your PC into a home entertainment center.

I hate when people bundle Windows Vista with laptop
The name M2010 sounds like it is a machine from the year 2010. And from the looks of it, it is a futuristic laptop. If you are ultra rich, this is the laptop to buy. This sports an unbelievable 20″ widescreen sure to satisfy all your mobile movie fantasies! 
I am not sure whether you can call this a laptop. It weighs over 18lbs!!
The high end version costs over $4000 and comes with blue ray disc drive. But surprisingly this version has only 1GB of RAM. Never go for this unless you want to flaunt your money. The best one among the lot seems to be Media Guru version with 2GB RAM. All versions come with a 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1800.
