Every laptop is an unique beast (almost) even within the same model
number sequence.
As others have pointed the problem is with the manufacturer not
releasing the hardware specs to the Linux kernel driver developers.

Get an inventory of the hardware spec (at the chip set level).   Watch
the release notes of the kernel releases.  When you see your hardware
in the list, build yourself a "custom" kernel.

As someone pointed out - it is best to buy a model that is known to
work with Linux.   Typically, the systems with pre loaded  "FreeDOS"
or "Linpus Linux"  pretty much work out of the box with the latest
distros.   This has been my experience  for the last two laptop
purchases.
