My 2cents.

1. Whatever laptop you get make sure that if you want to run Linux it
supports at least 1280x1024 or better yet 1400x1050.  Personally 1024x768
does not cut it for gnome or kde. 
2. Check individual components to make sure that there are existing drivers
for sound, video, network and wireless Bluetooth and 802.11x). 
3. Make sure you get a 3 year warranty.
4. Read a review of the laptop if you can. Laptops from the same
manufacturer vary between model numbers (eg. I had 2 Compaqs an m700 and an
evo n610.. the evo was a POS the m700 was a joy to own, everyone here is
complaining about dell. I have never had any issues running a linux or
freebsd on a dell laptop)
