Purchasing a laptop

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get help with two things.
Firstly, I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a laptop. I'm looking for something that has great RAM, HD space, a good processor, can run Windows Vista (and comes with it as well) with no problems. Something generic, but I'd rather not make a random buy nonetheless. If I could get something that could run Windows Vista no problems, that I could play come Counter-strike Source on no problems, and write on reliably without any crashes or upsets for the next two or three years, I'll be happy.
But the other thing, that would make it all better, is if I could find a laptop with a real quality built-in keyboard. Something I could take the keys out and clean, or something that feels great to type with, or at least something that won't have keys falling off within my time with it.
Anyone have any good suggestions?
...Also, it just occurred to me, it would be good to ask you all about any further suggestions on what I should also be looking for when buying a laptop. So, how about it?
EDIT: Sorry about posting this in the wrong place--I just realized it. Ugh.

Smaller Screen (than 15.4") = +$300-500
Waiting 2 more months to buy = -$100-200
I'd check out the Acer Extensa line first.
Very nice little machine for 1.5k.
