The Lenovo T430 has everything you are looking for. I use one for work;
running Red Hat 6, and several VM's. The only complaint is that the HDMI
connection uses a "displayport" cable. Since Amazon started selling it's
own cables, I sourced one cheaply enough.
I'll add that I use several live Linux flavors, with no video or wifi
issues.
