Recomendations wanted for laptop

Hi all, I'm currently on the look out for a new laptop and I wonder if anyone could possibly offer any advice - particuarlly releant to the Australian marketplace.

Firstlly I'm not a big gammer and the laptop will not be used for games. I am looking for a fast system capable of simultaneouslly running severall programs (multi-tasking) mostly your run of the mill stuff Word, Excel, Photoshop, PowerPoint, web and email.

My current thoughts on specs are as follows:
* Around 2.0GHz (preferablly P4)
* At least 256 Mb DDR RAM
* At least 40 Gb HD
* CD-RW/DVD at least 24x read & write as well as a floppy drive
* S - Video out
* TV tuner would be a bonus but not essential

I want something that will last for at least 3 years, have a battery life of at least 4 hours of solid use and a sturdy unit.
