http://www.linux-laptop.net/ Is a great source with stuff by brand. Could be same site via a difference reference as previously mentioned.
I've just been researching this and bought a Clevo. So far it's excellent and a lot less than $4K. It's also great in that I bought it sans OS and installed Mandrake with not too many problems. (lilo didn't work - grub did). Since I believe you basically throw away/fire sale your laptop every couple of years, I'm happy not to spend more than mid 2Ks for one. If you're coming to the festie, I'll be there so I can show you what I got for the money.
