The simple thing to do would be to download the SuSE 9.1 Live CD and burn the iso to a disc. Take it to the store with you and try it on any laptop you are interested in to see how well it works. That should give you a reasonably good idea of what you are getting.

Not necessarily. That Live CD failed on 3 of 3 computers that I tried it on, including my ThinkPad, which runs SuSE 9.1 Pro very well.
All of those 3 computers were also able to run the 9.0 Live Eval.

I should think that all the newer machines could handle the 2.88 disk image thing. That seems to be the biggest problem James. I don't know how new or old yours are and I had one system here I couldn't get it to run on, but my newer system worked just grand.

While one of those was an older K6, my Thinkpad (P3) and home (Athlon XP 1700+) systems are both a bit over 2 years old. The failures were at different points, but all well after the initial boot.
