I will be buying a laptop for college in the coming months and as it stands the fujitsu 7020 (coming end of June) is my top choice providing the price is right (around but hopefully under $2000) You can read preview of it here:

and the datasheet here: http://www.tme.co.uk/documents/FSCDa...book_s7020.pdf
My first question: Do you think the integrated graphics (Intel GMA 900) will suffice now, and even over its four year lifespan? Since thin and light is my first priority, i have to settle for little gaming ability. Thats fine, but i don't want it to bottleneck even simple applications (photoshop). Do i run this risk?
How important and useful is widescreen? THe S7020 does NOT offer widescreen, but it is very popular. I believe i read that the majority of laptops next year will offer/have widescreen. Is it a significant benifit?
The ASUS W3V has widescreen and an x600, but no SXGA. The IBM T43 is also a consideration, but it is a bit pricey.
