The Dell M1330 has a HDMI port and is available with a X3100 Intel
graphics controller (or a NVidia 8400). I haven't tried it but according
to the Xorg list it should work (video only, no audio at the moment).
If you live in the US or in some European countries you can order the
M1330n, preloaded with Ubuntu Linux.
Note that the X3100 is pretty slow (it's often slower than previous
Intel integrated cards) and its drivers are sometimes unstable in 3D, so
go for it only if you don't care about 3D (compiz works reasonably well
though), need good multi-monitor support and can't stand proprietary
drivers.
Also, its HDA audio (which it's the same as my Dell Vostro 1400) is
almost totally unusable with JACK...
