Well you could get something like a thinkpad SL410 or SL510.  They can
be customized however you want (webcam is a $30 option so you don't have
to get it). I have an SL500 and it works great with linux (although I
did explicitly upgrade the wifi to the intel 5100 when I ordered it,
and highly recommend doing so).

Of course a custom ordered thinkpad takes a week or two to arrive,
so if you need it by the weekend, that doesn't work.
