This is a *tough* question to answer simply because the notebook
landscape changes so drastically.

Three years ago, I bought a Dell 600m that worked mostly with SUSE 9.3
and 100% with SUSE 10.2. However, that notebook is completely
outdated.

I recently bought a HP notebook (nw9440) that also works 90% with SUSE
10.2. (The integrated SD/MMC/XM/XD card reader only seems to read the
SD card.)

I doubt you'll find a notebook that is 100% feature complete in Linux.
The reason simply being that the small OEM manufacturers of the
various components don't give a hoot about Linux or MacOS and only
write their drivers for Windows Vista or XP.

HOWEVER - you should be happy with pretty much any notebook you get.
I've loaded SUSE on half a dozen notebooks and been mostly satisfied.

HTH!!
