Processor:
Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor at least 2.53Ghz
or maybe a
Intel® Core?2 Extreme, only if its is good on battery life like the Centrino

Operating System : Windows Vista (64-bit), doesn't matter what version.

Memory:
At least 3GB, prefer 4.

Screen:
Minimal 16", Full HD (1900x1200p)

Hard Drive:
320GB with free-fall protection
or
SSDrive no less than 128GB, only if notebook design only allows for a slim-hard drive (thin-laptop)

Optical Drive:
Blu-ray Reader/Burner (single/double layer)

Wireless:
At least 802.11n (wireless N) with Bluetooth. (a fast one maybe an Intel Nextgen)

Battery:
Needs to last long (5-6 hours the least).

Media Center:
HDMI and VGA output
and maybe a tv-tuner

Graphics:
Unsure about this one. Needs to be able to output full 1080p Blu-Ray to HDTV. Needs to be decent for gaming, something that can play Bioshock at High Settings, or maybe Crysis at med to high settings.


Warranty:
Minimal 3 years
with LoJack if offered.

Budget:
$2100 - 2700.

Im looking for a thin design laptop, nothing bulky like alienare or HP. To give you an idea of what I want, something thin like a macbook or Voodoo. Or are there any laptops out there that are thin like that or close to it that are powerful with the specs that I want, or should I wait a bit, maybe around 2009, I heard rumors of way better processors, and very thin powerful laptops coming out.

Any input is much appreciated. Thanks.

Not going to happen, this is a high end laptop you're after, which are thick due to the complexity of the components, and more specifically, the blocks required to cool them properly.
