Recommended Laptops for use with Ultralite MK3

[Chappo]

Hi everyone,
I have recently given up on running the Ultralite through the Ricoh firewire on my Asus f3sv laptop and sold it.
I am now looking for a new laptop to purchase and was hoping that if you have a Ultralite MK3 running brilliantly on your laptop with XP SP3 that you could please tell me what laptop it is.
I'm willing to pay around $1600 AUD
The toshiba satellite looks alright although it looks like it's firewire is i.link (sony i think) would this work okay?
What new laptops can i buy that have TI intergrated or possibly a decent express slot to buy and adapter?

Also if you know of a place around Sydney that does good deals and sells a laptop i would want then that info would be helpful too.

Thanks Everyone, I'm so glad Motunation exists as it would have made an already frustrating situation so much worse without the help from these forums!

Thanks Reeper! I found a good deal on a SL500 on ebay and think I might buy it.
However I was just looking at the driver downloads for the SL500 and there is a ricoh 4-in-1 driver there, so it appears that some SL500's have the Ricoh chipset aswell. I'll have to contact who ever i buy it off and have them check to see what firewire chipset it has before i commit to buy one.
