I've not followed the thread, so if this is redundant, my apologies...

Emperor will also load Linux on your existing laptop for $$$$, which 
might be cheaper then purchasing hardware directly from them.  Price 
there laptops verses getting the laptop somewhere else and having them 
set it up.  I think it's around $200.

I purchased my Sony Vaio from Emperor, you can't get better support 
locally for a laptop running Linux.
