I know Apple laptops have DVI outs. Also most 17 inch varieties do as well. Are there any smaller laptops that are not Apple that have HDMI or a DVI outs (preferably with HDCP although it's not necessary)?

Sorry for the confusion, I was hoping for something smaller than 17 inches with those ports. I checked Dell's, site and I don't see any models with DVI less than 17 inches. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Don't know of any laptops, but I have a Dell D820 with a docking station. The docking station is great -- allows me to leave a keyboard and mouse connected plus has DVI out for the external display. Adds a few bucks to the cost, though.

The Dell Inspiron XPS with a 15.4 in screen has S-Video and DVI - however - it is a monster to carry and is no longer current. I found several 15.4's rather quickly - this one has DVI and S-Video out:

DVI

Look under Technical Features - Expandability.

Wow, that Asus one is impressive. I just wish it's battery life was a bit better. Acer doesn't look bad, either, but I would prefer to have a Core 2 Duo processor. Keep the suggestions coming. I guess I have to do some research on my own, too.

Any particular reasons why you don't want an apple? Is it just price, or some other reasons?

Mainly price. Otherwise, they have everything I'm looking for. Well, the graphics could be a bit better, I guess. If I can't find anything else I like for cheaper, spending the extra money on an Apple is a possibility.
