My goal with this is to have a laptop that I can hook up to my 48" HD T.V., and stream movies, internet, ext... and ultimately create a home theater laptop. My budget is roughly 1000$, and as far as specs goes I know what I want (2.3-2.5GHz, 4-8GB ram, and a smaller SSD) up until I hit the GC. I'm a bit ignorant as to what's a good laptop GC, and what would adequately do what I want. If anyone has any suggestions on components, or knows a good deal on a labtop that would meet my goals, please share!

On a side note the SSD will probably be a side upgrade once I have some more disposable income
