I have two IBM laptops. An old (ish) Thinkpad 600 and a new A21, both machines have run SUSE 7.2 and have
just been upgraded to SuSE 7.3. I have found that the IBM machines are very stable (nothing has crashed yet)
and the installs on them was fairly painless, sound , IRDA and USB works on both machines :-)

The only thing that I would say is that both laptops have had extra memory installed. The TP600 has 192Mb RAM 
and the A21 has 256Mb. 

IBM machines are not that cheap but I my personal opinion of them is that they are very good.

Sorry if I sound like an advert for IBM (I didn't mean to) 

Like Richard says, if you need a hand let us know.
