Your goals are mutually exclusive. your looking at a $1500 expenditure (Clevo 150HM or 170HM) to meet those goals. At your budget, start looking at something like the P151HM:

http/www.pro-star.com/index.cfm?mainpage=serial-price&serial=P151HM&promoteid=90000366&screenid=13140401&cpuid=30145200&hdid=40112658&cdromid=20074692&ramid=80117622&batteryid=10140101

I wouldn't buy it from ProStar (Support is dropped precipitously) but the site is well done and easy to navigate....pop over to xoticpc.com when ya ready to buy

I getcha well I want something around the price of $1000 or under that will do all those things pretty good or as good as can be done for the price. I would really like a 17" screen at least if possible
