    if you are about to buy a notebook... the key issue in my experience is
    the video chipset. In my experience the intel video based laptops work
    well, while nvidia/ati are more cumbersome (even with the binary
    drivers), however the gaming performance will be lower than with
    nvidia/ati.

    Other than that.... make sure you buy a laptop with speedstep or
    similar, the battery life and heat production matter a lot.

    oh and google before buying for the model and linux, quite often others
    wrote about their experiences (and once you get yours, write your own
    page :-)
