Sure, your opinion. But to me the question was "a suitable laptop for running CentOS" not "what is the best OS to run on a laptop"
And as you might have noticed, there weren't an overwhelming number of replies from people happy with their experience with CentOS on laptops. It's not unreasonable to use/recommend the best thing for the intended purpose and CentOS isn't a particularly good fit on a laptop.
That's your opinion. I'm perfectly happy running CentOS on my Dell XPS M1330, and furthermore pretty much everything works fine straight out of the box:

Those that are happy don't always speak up. Mostly it's those who are unhappy or have things not working that you hear from.
JMHO.
