Tech noob, need Laptop suggestions!

Brag: So I just bought this ballin 30 inch screen open box off of newegg for about 1k. It's a thing of beauty and inspires awe. I wish that they would put a baby in the picture for scale or something.

Beat: my desktop is a $350 dell inspiron that doesn't have the right connection (I believe it's called a DVI port). Even with an adapter, my graphics card, which I believe is about as technologically advanced as the colorful thing inside a kaleidescope wouldn't support a screen that big anyway.

Variance: Now I need to buy another fucking computer. I think that I should buy a laptop and just connect it to the screen and forego the desktop altogether so I can travel with the same machine I use to grind from my home spot. But I've been out the tech game for awhile, and I didn't know much about it to begin with as Wake Forest generously provided us with Lenovo powered Thinkpads that have just a bit more computing power than an abacus. What would people recommend? I think my price range is gonna be $1200-1800 give or take a bit maybe. Thoughts are appreciated!

not many laptops will run a 30" at full resolution. make sure if you buy a laptop it will run max resolution 2560x1600

I'm about to buy a sony vaio, not sure it has high enough resolution for the the 30" though, if you go on sony's site you can sort through and customize, mine's gonna be like 1300 before tax

yeah very few lappys will run 30" at full resolution (which running a 30 at 2560x1600 is the whole point of buying a 30" anyway). U gotta make sure it has a Dual DVI port, there is a great forum in 2p2 about computers n shit id suggest browsing that before any purchases

1k for a samsung 30" is a rip imo.. i would have highly recommended a dell 3007fp! You need a new graphics card no matter what kind of adapter you have.. you need a graphics card that suppor 2560x1600.. but if you know anyone about computers building your computer is soooo much cheaper and you get nice ass shit.. i think running a desktop to your 30" home poker comp is worth it.. that's what i have..

Wait for the newest MacbookPro 17", it will be running with i7 processor.
Rumours say it will come out end of March this year (after iPad US launch).

MacbookPro will support 30" monitor at full resolution (2560 x 1600).

Get Parallels to run Windows 7 on your OS X Snow leopard.

Predicted price range US$2,500
