Best laptop specs to run Vista?

[lseward]

My old laptop died and I am buying a new one this weekend -- for those that have bought/tested new laptop hardware with Vista, what do you recommend? My main needs are: Excel/PP power-user (will be getting Office 07 shortly), tax and financial planning software, email, internet, so far not big into games but may want to try.

So far I am planning on:
1. 2 GB DDR
2. Core 2 Duo chip
3. 5400 RPM HD (unclear on the need for a hybrid drive or not)
4. 256MB or 512MB graphics memory (?)
5. Vista Home Premium

What other specs should I be looking for?

we'll everything you just described is more then enough to run internet and office programs. so those specs are not even needed, but if you have the money plz buy that
