Poker Software Tools

My desktop replacement just died and I am looking to get a new laptop. The only thing I really care about at this point is a large screen. It doesn’t have to be super powerful and I will be getting a desktop to replace my desktop replacement. The laptop will be only to carry around when I won’t be near my desktop, so it does not need to be able to do high end gaming or anything like that. The reason I say I would like to have a big screen is because I will have many windows open at once (online poker) that I will need to be able to see all at the same time. The poker software is not demanding in terms of memory/processor power. If I can do this without a big screen, please tell me. It would be preferable if it had HDMI output so I can play HD movies on friend’s TVs. I don’t know how powerful of a video card I will need for that. Please help!
