My HP definitely comes short on the screen end of things as well but that's not what I got it for (the screen gets uglier every time I think about it haha)
Ah, yes...IBM/Lenovo. Check out the W700 series monster "lap"top. A client had one...OMFG it's amazing. A 10" screen pops out from behind the 17" one so you can put all your palettes on the smaller screen and work on your main image without distractions. Built-in colour calibration AND a built-in Wacom tablet in the palm rest! The W700's screen shows 72% of the Adobe RGB gamut, which has been equaled by the newer Macbook Pros, but nonetheless when I first saw it I wanted it. Then I found out it cost him $5000. O.O

I've always wanted a Thinkpad... IBM used to have the best keyboards on the market. Don't know about now.
