After Apple made a mess of iCommune, I switched to using a Thinkpad A31p back in Feburary. Except for being a monstrous beast, it made a really nice linux laptop. It even slept properly... And therein lies the problem. For modern Free Unixes, most things on cutting edge laptops don't work very well. After getting tired of dragging the A31p around, I bought a vaio v505bx, a trim 2Ghz laptop with integrated wireless. This was a few months ago. I haven't used it for more than a few days total because the XFree drivers suck (even though the card is supported), it won't sleep or suspend because ACPI support in Linux in still a mess, and the integrated wifi card might never work because driver manufacturers are afraid to release open source drivers or specifications.

So, I switched back to my tibook. It's pushing the end of it's life, too (it's a 667/1Ghz 15") but I'll upgrade to a newer Powerbook for my birthday in April.
