I'm currently using an HP NC4000, largely on the recommendation of Bdale
Garbee. He's got a page up about it:
http://www.gag.com/~bdale/nc4000/
I really like it because it's incredibly light. It doesn't have an
optical drive though, so if that's a requirement, then it's probably not
the machine for you.
The inbuilt wireless works well - I'm using the madwifi driver, which
I've found fedora packages for in the past (though I'm running Mandrake
Cooker on it). The bluetooth worked without me doing anything at all.
I bought mine for the low, low price of $1795, which I thought was
pretty good.
HTH,
James.
