Ultra-mini or mini laptop w/ full screen TV playback?

I currently have a Dell Latitude 610 with ATI Mobility Radeon X300
graphics. This adapter (and many others in the the Mobility Radeon
range) has a s-video output. Once of the nicer features of the X300 in
particular (I can't speak to all the Radeon adapters, but I assume the
same holds true) is that it will output a full screen TV image of
whatever is playing through Windows Media Player (without having to
use the full screen option in WMP) - even if you're working in other
programs - as long as Windows Media Player isn't minimized to the task-
bar.

I absolutely love this feature and would like to find the same or
similar on an ultra-mini or mini laptop. Can anybody think of anything
off-hand that might work for me? At a pinch HDMI or DVI interfaces
might work - am more interested in maintaining the full-screen TV
playback without having to go full screen in WMP.
