I have a Dell Inspiron 9100 which also has all these features except for 2. It has display resolutions of up to 1920x1440. Bluetooth and wireless. I haven't got the wireless working, but I've been told that it works with Project Evil, and I suppose the Bluetooth would too; I have no application for that.
