I gave my old Compaq Presario laptop to my wife, and I need a new laptop to
use for my teaching (I teach Unix, Linux, C, and C++ at a local university)
as well as for BLU meetings.
My presonal requirements are:
Brand: must be HP (or HP/Compaq)
OS: SuSE Linux 10.0 or possibly VMWare with SuSE running as the primary OS.
Chip: AMD-64 (While I work directly with some Intel people, I want 64-bits
on the laptop).
Screen size: I prefer 15in or better, but 14in would be ok.
Memory - would prefer 1 or 2 GB because I want to be able to run a couple of
different distros simultaneously for the courses.

I've looked at the following models:
L2000, DV8110US, DV5120 and dv5140.

I've found Linux reviews of the L2000, but not the DV8* or DV5* models,
though the DV8110US from eCost seems to have some very good features.

I'm not concerned about installing ndiswrapper for the Broadcom wireless.

Many of the HP Compaq n series business notebooks are officially certified
by SuSE, but those notebooks tend to be more expensive, but there are a
bunch that are available refurbished or excess new.
