Help me pick a laptop, win $50 on FTP!

[Play4Pride]

Hey guys,
I'm not the most tech savvy guy so I was hoping one of you 2+2ers could help me out. I'm looking for a nice laptopd deal. I want to get a higher end laptop but also get a good deal on it. It can be any brand but I'd prefer dell since I hear you can find sick discount coupons for dells. I would also like it to look nice. Under $1,000 is preferable.

Specific specs I'm looking for:
15 or 17 inch monitor can be widescreen or not
1 or 2 gigs of ram
good processor, no celeron or anything
good wireless card
dvd burner
webcam would be nice but optional
good battery life

I'll ship $50 to whoever chooses the laptop I buy. GL.
