Notebook shopping [RE-wrenches]

Colleagues:

I am shopping for a new notebook computer.  I have narrowed it to a Gateway
450X or a Dell Inspiron 8200.  I wonder if anyone can comment on either of
these two machines or suggest any other models I should consider.  My
criteria are:

-Must have an old fashioned serial port (soon to be a legacy device, I fear)
-Screen size and quality important (15")
-30 gig hard drive minimum
-TV out
-Good keyboard layout with easy to reach home, end, etc. keys
-Would like to spend less than $2K
-CD RW essential
-Good sound is nice
- I do not use fire wire now, but may in the future
-Portability not so important

Thanks in advance

William
