Today I found myself in need of a laptop to run Centos on. And that simple statement led to an all-day odyssey.

Since it has now become amazingly difficult to get a laptop if you're not planning to use Windows, at least around here, I'm wondering what the rest of you fine folks do when it comes to purchasing a laptop? Next time this comes up, I'd rather not have to spend all day on something that used to take fifteen minutes.
Dell Latitude series, from the old D810 to more recent E65xx ones.

Hello All,
when buying laptops I try to avoid Ati/Radeon cards, because of pas issues.
But maybe it would be all right now.
Definitely no Broadcom wireless.
No Lenovo because of id/pairing protected cards.
In short, I look for laptops with as many Intel parts as possible.
Although it is true that Amd is a lot of power for a buck.
What's wrong w/ Broadcom wireless? Works fine here (Broadcom
Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)), even
if I had to install their driver (it's well documented on the CentOS
wiki).

Hello,
as it says on the Centos wiki :
*ATTENTION:* This driver module is NOT persistent across kernel upgrades
(i.e. when you update the kernel, and boot the newly installed one,
you'll have to do this over again).
That's a bit inconvenient.
Greetings, Johan
