light laptop + full size monitor, keyboard and mouse?

Dell / IBM - sure you can find url!
'Draw/Photoshop' = more memory, decent cpu
On the road = battery life
PS2/USB probably unavoidable

Hello, please suggest what you'd consider to be the best option
to accomplish the following:

1. Need a new computer at work. Price up to $3,000, could be
a bit more. Processor speed is NOT crucial - mostly Office
+ email/browser but also some scientific graphing and Corel
Draw/Photoshop. E.g., probably nothing fancy.

2. Should be able to bring it home (couple times a month)
and on the road (couple times a year). E.g., the less weight,
the better.

3. Should have/should be able to connect a full size LCD
(say, 19") and keyboard (preferably not PS/2, not USB).
The DVDR capability is essential, too.

I am at a loss on where to start looking! If possible, please
give concrete recommendations/URLs.

Thank you,

DK
