 If you want a serious laptop try a Sager 9750 decked out.

I've been using this model with the latest Nvidia drivers on the
latest Nevada builds and it works quite well.  The only thing I had 
to replace was the cheap minipci type wireless card (RA2500)
they ship with them.  I get my wireless cards from Netgate.com
two models which I have tested with opensolaris that work well
are:
http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_34&products_id=279
which is 400mw atheros 5006 based  card and 
http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_34&products_id=109
which is an atheros 5004 based card.
