I am looking at replacing my wife's desktop as she is looking for more mobility around the house.

Her current specs are

Q6600 / 4GB / 8800GTX 896MB / 640GB HDD / Bluetooth and wireless keyboard , mouse.

She uses (software) ACDSEE Pro , normal windows stuff for browsing , plays World of Warcraft , Roxio Media Creator suite (video editing / music).

The machine will be docked to a 19 inch monitor most of the time, but will need the mobility for watching tv , playing DVD (and/or bluray).

Must haves : Bluetooth , Wireless (pretty much both standard these days I think) screen should be minimum 14" widescreen , and would really like a HDMI output port. GFX should be fairly capable, but not mind blowing.

Non-essential, an infrared or bluetooth media remote / 54 expresscard slot , card reader of some sort.

Budget not more than 700 , stretching within reason.
