My experiences with Thinkpads has been terrific.  Light, cool, and
extremely reliable.  Also, you can get B5-sized Thinkpads that have
full-sized keys (we have a Thinkpad 240 at work and it's very
easy to type on).

You probably already know about the Linux-on-Laptops site, but this
is the place to go to check others' experience with installing on
a given model before you buy it:
