I've been shopping for a new laptop and it's becoming a thoroughly frustrating experience.

I know what I want... but NO one makes it. I'm considering either purchasing a 15" laptop that would be my primary workstation at home and away, or buying a 13" small, convenient, portable machine that I would use mostly on the go. I would even go for a 14" if I could only find one with the right features, even though it's not what I really want.

This is my requirements list for each size laptop:

15" LED backlit WUXGA (1920x1200) screen
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4+Ghz
DDR3 ram

14" LED backlit WSXGA+ (1680x1050) screen
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2+Ghz
DDR3 ram

13" LED backlit WXGA+ (1440x900) screen
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0+Ghz
DDR3 ram


I don't think I'm really being that picky. My budget is at most about $2500 for my new laptop, so I am willing to pay for something that meets my criteria. Plus there are all kinds of other components not listed on which I'm willing to be flexible. Alas every notebook on the market falls short. I don't know what to do, so for now I'm just waiting for a new product to come along and impress me.
