I would say pretty much any laptop will do. Watch for intel wifi, as they are supposedly - and in my own experience - better than broadcom.

Dell makes linux laptops as does be qubed.

I'm happier than a pig in mud with my Dell Inspiron. - -- Mark "Drunkenness is not an excuse for stupidity.

I got myself a Dell Inspiron 600m about three years ago and would have been cussing them out like crazy, except I got their extended service warrantee, something I just about never get. It's had some hardware problems which made extending the warrantee cheap by comparison. Their service (farmed out, of course) has been great. They come to my place within two or three days of my reporting a hardware problem and I'm back in business. So unless you've got a second Linux machine to use when your new laptop is down, I'd recommend spending a little more to get the extended warrantee for the new laptop.

I would get any thinkpad model that you felt was within your budget. There are no other laptop manufacturers out there IMHO.

FYI, there are quite a many ebay stores that sell thinkpads still sealed in the box but are a few models out, for dirt cheap. most still have 3 year warranty. I've come across sealed box T42's for 460 bucks.

Just wanted my .02 out there!

Good luck....

Anything HP. I'd prefer a HP Business Notebook, for example the HP nx7400 (RU430ET), I got one of those and had not a single hardware or compability problem til today (using it heavily for nearly a year now).

At my work we buy quite a few IBM/Lenovos which all seem to work pretty well, we've also had quite good experiences with HP and Toshiba machines. We've not been buying Sonys for quite some time because they used to be a right pain to get Linux running on. Perhaps we could reconsider that now.

I use a Samsung X65, a great laptop and it works fine with 10.3, WLAN out of the box. However, this laptop probably is no mid range any more although not as expensive as other laptops that offer similar functionality. Please check http://tuxmobil.org/ too.
