There's a number of companies that specialize in Linux Laptops:
Tadpole uses Sun's JDS: http://www.tadpolecomputer.com/
Los Alamos have several models (including an Athlon 64):

Emperor Linux has a bunch: http://www.emperorlinux.com/
Linux Certified has several:

The HP laptop is interesting (I can't find it on their site though there
is a certification matrix at
http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/linux/products/clients/clientscert.html
). I'd personally prefer to buy from a Linux specialist.
Laptops are good from a power and portability standpoint but they're
pricey and not as sturdy methinks.
