Get hold of a T60p. I bought mine for 900 EUR and I believe it to be the best 
laptop available for all your mentioned purposes and the quality of a real 
thinkpad. You can get used ones that are practically brand new and buy the 
extended 3 year on location service, which is what I did.

With other, newer models you'll be unhappy with either the screen quality 
(glare/non flexview), the keyboard or mechanical finish.

Oh well, I guess this is just too conservative a recommendation ;-)
