I'll be loading Linux as soon as the machine arrives from Dell.
Kevin: I suggest you try the CentOS 5.2 Live CD on it, after you
receive the laptop. Then, you will know if CentOS is the distro for
that Laptop. CentOS is an Enterprise Distro and not well suited to the
latest HW, especially on a Laptop. If CentOS doesn't work on it, the
way you want it to, consider running Fedora or Ubuntu or something
else on it. The Live CD's make it very easy to check out how a Distro
will work on the HW you have.
Very good advice!
Here's my questions:
1) Are there any published plans for CentOS to support KDE4, or is there a
way to upgrade CentOS to KDE4 ?
If you upgrade to something that is not supported by the distro, you
broke it and you fix it.

Would not expect to see KDE4 supported before RHEL6/CentOS6. If you
really want to try it, see:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/KDE4FAQ
http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/
Note the cautions about using the testing/unstable repos.
