Yeah, it was my second best purchase this year, right after a DR650
which admittedly is more fun :P
I'm surprised how much actual stuff I get done on the HP with the
smaller scree

My main laptop is eeePC 700
Notebooks so far:
Twinhead R15D: centrino, 1.86GHz, Intel 915, 1Gig Ram - everything
worked nicely out of the box
Thinkpad T400: Intel X4100, 3G Ram: Actually it's a dual graphic but I
never really tried to get the ATI running. It's set to use the
integrated in the BIOS and that works smoothely.
I run Arch on a Thinkpad T41, 1.6GHz Pentium M, and 1Gb of Ram. It has
a worthless battery, so I have it on the AC adapter all the time.
However, the batteries are cheap, and even though it's an older
machine, I really love the look and feel of it, as well as the
keyboard and Trackpoint (?) Mouse.

MSI Megabook S262B:
Nice and small laptop, it's a 12" model from the days netbooks weren't
invented yet. Everything on this laptop works out of the box since the
day I purchased it. Suspend, resume, hibernate, etc.
There's a few issues with this machine though:

I have always had issues suspending, hibernating and user switching if
you use the ATI binary drivers. The webcam is upside down but that
will be fixed soon in the UVC drivers. I can't use 2.6.31 kernel yet
due to the wireless drivers (ath9k) deadlocking the system, but I
haven't tried

I second a vote for Thinkpad's actually. They're quality bits of kit, very
Linux/Unix friendly.

I'm running it on a thinkpad t61, and I'm quite satisfied. I've got
gnome running, though I like fvwm and might go back to it. Power
management is working, which I like. I don't know what else you might
have in mind in terms of what your expectations are. I like the
