Plenty... Yes, all laptops need a journaled FS. The easiest I've found to install and then admin is EXT3. If you feel that you need anything "more powerful" then you should move your work to a desktop. As a side note, I've been using ext4dev as an expirement and I find it quite nice. However, be aware, once you enable "extents" as a boot option and cause writes to the disk (ie. save a file, etc)... you can never go back to ext3 or plain old ext2 without a format.
