Consider a MacBook Pro. They have built-in DVI, in fact it's dual DVI
so you can drive a 1600x2550 screen. Supposedly they run Windows just
fine with boot camp. Admittedly, I thought it was too risky to bank on
that so I got a Dell.

In that case it'll be a docking station, and even then a max res of
1600x1200 or a little better. Sadly this spec has been stagnant for 4
years or so. The DVI signal comes through the big connector in the
bottom of your laptop, so yes you get the pure digital signal from the
docking station DVI port.
