There are myriads of discussions about which model to prefer. You will have to 
some homework. Try:

http://www.tuxmobil.org
http://www.linux-laptop.net

Browse the mailing list's archive:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-laptop/

People here have VERY different opinions on vendors and specific models. Some 
common sense: IBM is good, though expensive. Toshiba is more or less reliable 
and has fairly good linux support. Gericom is horrible for many (especially 
support), though widespread in Germany. Opinions on Dell vary, I am overall 
satisfied with mine, but it's far from perfect.

Regards,
  Frank
