I'm using a Dell Inspiron N7110 on F17. It's not exactly a lightweight,
but it's pretty good. Intel Core i5, quad core, 8GB, 750G SATA, DVD,
webcam, touchpad, ESATA port, HDMI, USB2 and USB3, SD slot, Realtek
NIC, Intel N wifi. Everything pretty much "just works", have had no
problems with it.

The 7110 has a 1600x900 display (17") using Intel graphics. As they
say, "Works for me!"
