Hi, I would suggest a Toshiba. I own a Satelite 3000 series and after some hints and some rethinking I got Debian up and running on it perfectly. Most problems were caused by my problems and my strange ideas about Linux and Laptops. ;)))) Official retail is $1600, but I have seen shops in the US selling it for as low as $1150. May this is an option. But I also have to admit that you want to run Woody or even better Sid on it, cause it is a quite new notebook and so it needs some special drivers...
Otherwise pick one of the cheaper and more "conventional" Toshi notebooks..
