Here's my feeble contribution; an item on hackernews, (since it's recent) Ask HN: Best Developer Linux Laptop? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1786930
Laptops generally, you might consider Samsung as well as the usual IBM/Lenovo, Dell, HP. I'm quite happy with my oldish R50 even though I don't usually run Linux on it. Fun fact: it has a tiny embedded linux on it just for playing dvds so you don't have to boot into Windows to play dvds. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
