even I can understand your message, other may be not, because this is a
english spoken mailing-list. So please respect that ;-)
Now to your questions.

yepp.

as written for Bluetooth - if these features are built in, they will
use a lot of power, even if you do not use them.

I have a IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m - would preffer this one over the
Sony, even it does not have neither bluetooth, nor dvb-t, nor a cam.

Should work, when you are able to compile from source, because there is
still no driver for this one in Debian, but my ThinkPad has this one
too and it works.

should work well, but you have a bigger display with a lower
resolution :P

Modem - do you really need it? these are mostly a part of the soundcard
on recent laptops. May work, maybe not.
LAN - should work out-of-the-box, no matter which chip is in
CardReader - may be bitchy as hell, mine is.
Cam - dunno
DVB-T - no idea what a chip is in, but since kernel 2.6.15 there are
many chips supported, so you may have luck
You do not ask for suspend-to-{ram|disk} - do you do not need them?
neverless, I would never by a computer (or even a laptop) without the
info on ALL hardware is used - it can end with a great pain in your ass.
At least, I think you already know http://tuxmobil.org, look at this if
not, but your particular model isn't listed there.
kind regards
