i've always used a toshiba. the one i have currently is a desktop replacement. 
satellite pro 6100. therefore probably not ideal for what the OP wanted it 
for - travel. but otherwise, everything works out of the box. supports dual 
display (nvidia card). has an *excellent* display (1400x1050 - an awkward 
ratio but it works). and they have support website for linux.

anoop.
