Try investigating the newest ACER products.  I have seen them and have been 
pretty impressed.  I have been also told they make the notebooks for the new 
AMBRA line from IBM.   I believe they have the specs you are looking for.  
Remember PCMCIA is a must.  I am assuming when you say video out you are 
talking about a monitor connection.
