Hi. I am looking to upgrade my current laptop which is almost 5 years old. I currently have an Acer Travelmate.

Would appreciate any suggestions on make and models please based on the following criteria.

Backlit keyboard
Optical Drive (min DVD writer)
LAN, USB 2.0 & 3.0, Media Card Bay
Webcam
VGA Out
Mic In, Audio Out
Win7 Pro
14"+ screen
500GB+ HDD

I travel a lot so prefer something medium to lightweight (i.e. under 2kg).

Usage: The usual web browsing, email, word processing, powerpoints etc. I am not a gamer. Sometimes do a bit of basic video editing and DVD/video dubbing, music playback & editing. Occassionally view CAD drawings and watch the odd DVD.

Budget is up to $2000

Any recommendations highly appreciated.

Thanks.
