Any Opinions On This Laptop for Linux, any other suggestions

[jim ruxton]

Hi,
I'm in the market for a new laptop. Right now I'm looking at a Dell
M1530.  The one on the right here. It has: 
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T8100 (2.1GHz/800Mhz FSB, 3MB 
4 GB Ram
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT 
http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/upsell_1530_systems?c=ca&cs=cadhs1&l=en&s=dhs

It will be around 1300.00 + taxes . Can anyone recommend anything else
that will be Linux friendly with similar components. I've been using HP
but couldn't find anything similar locally. I'd like to stay with Nvidia
cards as I've found they work well with Linux. Any advice is
appreciated.
Thnnks,
Jim
