Laptops (Notebooks) with S/PDIF

I've been looking for laptops with S/PDIF (or Toslink) connections to use with my Hi-Fi setup, but the search is becoming very difficult! I'm not limiting myself to brand new either, and would be very happy with a model that is from 2007 or newer, providing it has at least a dual core processor and a minimum 2GB RAM.

Subaru Liberty MY05 Head Unit Fascia

This is what the fascia looks like from my automatic Subaru Liberty (Legacy) 2005 MY05 where the stereo and environment controls sit.

In order to fit an aftermarket head unit you must first replace the fascia kit with either a genuine 2-din Subaru part or a kit from another supplier. Suggestions are japanparts.com, www.avojdm.com or garage88. Apparently you can also Email forumparts@gmail.com and ask Michael (PHAT GT) for a price on the fascia.
