try before you buy is much of an option. I can't just hop over to BestBuy
to look at most of these machines.
is bestbuy one of those internet retailers? There are other vendors,
with retail outlets. If you need their service then buy from one of those.
I think, on reflection, that some vendors offer Linux (and RHEL)
preinstalled on some models of their laptops.
I did go looking around an the T61 is offered as a linux certified laptop
from a third party with RHEL5, so I'm not sure what they do different to
avoid these issues. I know Dell sells RHEL on its Precision series, does
anyone else?

Ask your preferred vendor, at least that informs them of the demand.
fwiw I've bought three Intellish laptops, one new (cheap) Acer
consumer-grade and two used, a Satellite 1400 and a Thinkpad R40. All
came with Windows, but all run Linux fine.
I was going to do some checking. but lenovo.com.au does not work with
Seamonkey. IBM has a 7-day money-back guarantee on used laptops. I hoped
to find whether the same offer applies to new.
