[trying to find a laptop]

So I recently sent back my Lenovo t400 for hardware issues after already sending it in repair once. I'm in the process of finding a laptop for IT work. I'm going to college in the fall for Networking and Information Security. I was looking into a Dell Latitude E6400 or the E4300. If any one has any suggestions of other brands. Below is what I'm looking for in it.

Core2duo 2.4ghz

DDR3 memory

7200rpm HDD

wireless-N

DVD/CD

5 hours+ battery life

<14.1" display

under $1400

sorry if I'm being to picky. I just have to get one ordered so I can have it by August 18th

thanks
