If you want to run Linux on a laptop, the other thing to take into account is the wireless chipset. If you get a Intel Centrino based laptop you will be safe as the Intel wireless card is well supported on Linux (definately SUSE and I believe on Ubuntu as well) and works out of the box, if you get anything else - AMD or Intel Celeron etc - it will have the Broadcom chipset which can be a pain in the backside to get working. The latest kernel should have better support for Broadcom, but this has been done by reverse engineering and not like Intel's which has been specifically written for Linux. Your Nvidia graphics cards should be good, the only problem I know of ATI is that they are a bit slow to update their drivers for Linux.
