of where the Linux Laptop suppliers are?

Laptops generally don't come with GNU/Linux pre-installed. There are precious 
few suppliers who even understand Linux. The vast majority of laptops will 
have Windows and a lot still have noticeable problems with Windows-specific 
hardware. Typically, suspend to disk won't work and the internal modem is pot 
luck.

Various reviews of installing GNU/Linux on laptops that were originally sold 
with Windows - the Redmond Tax.

When I wanted a laptop, I went for a Mac - it's not the same but it's better 
than Windows.
