Default Geek forces, unite! I need your help finding a new laptop.

Okay folks, I need some help here. My laptop died (repair guy says it needs a whole new motherboard which wouldn't be worth replacing). Last time around I was stupid and didn't realize that I should have gotten something smaller and lighter but instead I just got the cheapest one with the specs I thought I should have gotten at the time. Anyway times change and I'm in the market again. I would like to find the following:

weight under 5.5 lbs, lighter is better
minimum Pentium-M 1.6 GHz or equivalent AMD (if such a thing exists)
minimum 512 MB RAM
some kinda separate graphics card (i.e. not integrated with motherboard)
60 GB hard drive
internal 802.11g wireless
DVD burner
better-than-XGA resolution (1280x1024 would be nice, will perhaps consider 1280x768 widescreen if the form factor is right)
bluetooth would be nice but it's not a must-have

Off with ye my fellow geeks, and help me find my new laptop!
