An A-series Thinkpad can do all of that. My A30p has 1394, 15" display,
1.2 GHz P3 (the A31p is 1.7 GHz), 512 MB (can take 1GB), 10/100
ethernet, and 802.11b. You can get it with Bluetooth, but I chose not
to. I know IBM sells an Ultrabay 2000 DVD-R burner, which fits in an
A-series. I don't think it fits in a T-series.
