Need help finding laptop

Basically I want something reliable, like 3-4 years reliable, I'm going to use it for school and a wee bit of gaming. I don't want it to go over $1,500 unless it has too($2,000 absolute max).
Im open to recommendations for the specs as long as they fit my situation ^.

Games: Counter-Strike Source basically... maybe some BF 2.
 
Dell
A couple weeks ago:
Inspiron 9300
Intel® Pentium® M Processor 740 (1.73 GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB) As fast as a 3.2ghz p4 in almost all apps
17 inch UltraSharp? Wide Screen UXGA Display with TrueLife? 1920x1200 resolution, high enough to watch 1080p HDTV stuff
256MB NVIDA® GeForce? Go 6800 (you are not going to find much better gaming card for a laptop, unless you like 30 min battery life)
80GB Hard Drive
512MB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz 2 Dimm
24X CD Burner/DVD reader
Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless (802.11 b/g, 54Mbps integrated)
3Yr Ltd Warranty with completecare accident insurance (you can get 4 year if you like, its not that much more)
9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery (80 WHr) (this is the better battery upgrade. I get between 2 and 3 hours depending on what I do)

All for $1,415.99
 
Look around, some B&M was selling AMD turions in a "Lance Armstrong" version and it looked like a great system for $1295 recently.
