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.
