I have a Lattitude CPx right now (company machine), and it works pretty well. I have some problems with the docking station wrt sound. With XFree 4.0.1, I also have video problems with the docking station. But except for that, it's a reasonable machine. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I like the dual eraser head/touchpad mouse.
The only downside is the lack of a hardware volume knob, which is avoidable if you get a sound driver that will run the Maestro-3i (not OSS/Lite), and use the mixer controls instead. I paid opensound $30, and it works ok, except for while it's docked. I gather the docking station problems are kind of universal - that most things work, but have little things that you run into with them, no matter which laptop you have. I've also used a Toshiba Satellite Pro 45?? before, it was good. If I was to get it again, it would probably be a Toshiba Tecra 8100 instead, mostly because it's lighter and I didn't really need the 15" screen. It worked well with Linux as well.
