In my limited expeience, all the latops I have bought work with Debian,
with the exception of modems. there is a driver you can dl from
conexant that works with some modems. Beware of the desktop cpu in the
laptop as it sucks power and drains the battery fast. ACPI is another
feature that differs from vendor to vedor and is nice to have working
in a laptop. The 2.4.23 kernel just fixed the 'reboot' issue on my Sony
laptop. Other than ACPI my Sony 'just' works with Debian, is that a
certification? :)
