Hi,

Does anyone have a cheap, portable but powerful computer that fits around these specifications?
MUST BE LAPTOP
Intel Core Duo (at least 2Ghz)
Around 4GB DDR3RAM

Reasonably portable
Windows or Mac
Bluetooth
Good battery (2.5 hours +)
Under NZ$2500 (can go to $3000, but if possible NZ $2500)
Any size Screen
Don't care about the hardrive type but 80GB or bigger

Thanks, Any brand, or computer would be great,

Heck, I'd go with a MacBook pro. I have a unibody 15 inch and love it to death!

That way I get the best of all 3 worlds thanks to vmware.

check out the Dell Studio 17 (http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/laptop_studio_17/pd.aspx?refid=laptop_studio_17&s=dhs&cs=19). A friend of mine got one a couple months ago and it seems like a good laptop. It's way below your max price range too.
