If you can take a little smaller screen you might think about getting a IBM X301. I love mine to bits. It is a really good piece of kit. A little pricey but you pay for quality. I really USE my laptops and never had a problem with a Think Pad (X series)
PREFER:
64 bit core duo 2 2-4+ Gb RAM 120+ Gb HDD writable multi-mode DVD/CD drive CentOS-5+
Works pretty much out of the box with CentOS 5. rpmforge has the rest. Full install took me less then 2 hours.
