Yes thinkpad is a good option, but maybe you want to check others models and prices. My hint is to go in http://www.linux-laptop.net/ and maybe there you can find a good laptop for you. If you are scared about the compatibility of linux in a laptop there you can find all information and how to conf

but the PowerBooks are a bit expensive.
