The Toshiba laptops available in the UK have that have OpenSolaris pre-installed have quite small screens. I can recommend the Tecra A9 for use with OpenSolaris as well. It seems to share most of the platform specific elements like keyboard FN key and volume control with the M10 so everything that works on the M10 also works with the A9. I have the UK model A9 12H which has onboard Intel graphics which are not the best as they are quite slow, but the higher models are quite good - they are nVidia.
SO if you are wanting OpenSolaris on a laptop but want a bigger screen, the A9 would be a good one to go for. The downside is you need to buy OpenSolaris seperately obviously. At the time I bought mine from Misco it had an offer for a cashbach of £150 if you bought more than £150 worth of accessories, which was useful as you could get the docking station plus a decent laptop back pretty much for free. They also have a Toshiba reliability guarantee which says that if it breaks during the warranty period you get a replacement AND your money back. Obviously this only applies if you don't damage it yourself! The A9 is a great laptop, but mine has a 5400rpm HDD - I recommend the 7200 RPM drives if you can get them on this model.
