You can help Ketara shop for a new laptop!

I want something with the following:

Case:
17" widescreen minimum.
Keyboard with integrated numpad.
Minimum 3 USB ports, 4 if there is no SD card reader.

Hardware:
4 gigs RAM minimum
320 gigs HD minimum, pref. 2x 160 gig HD
I'm not real savvy on processors, but something good.
512 MB dedicated video card
A really top notch wireless card. My last two laptops have had shitty wireless cards and I am tired of it.

Software:
Hardware MUST be compatible with Ubuntu. I probably want to set up a dual boot of Ubuntu and Windows 7 this time. That is all.

I'd help, but the moonspeak baffles me.

I'm looking for a laptop myself, though I have no clue where to start.

You are describing a desktop PC. Not a laptop.

I dunno, I've already found laptops that meet those specs from HP and Lenovo. Gonna run a good 2000$ though.

Macbook Pro meets all that except for the numpad requirement too.

My HP has a numpad.

Only 2 GB RAM, though.

Sounds like a Dell XPS Laptop might fit those specs.
