Well, if you're sticking with Core & Nvidia you should be mostly OK as they are well supported under Linux. Same goes for the network card and cd/hard drives. It's the other componants you need to pay attention to, such as the modem, wireless and power management which usually cause the most issues. For checking specific laptops, check out: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ http://tuxmobil.org/ In short, Linux will run almost any laptop you chuck it on, it just may not run all the componants.
