I second this idea.
Given the duties on some of these systems in the EU, you might
consider buying from a US vendor, having the machine shipped to the
IETF hotel, and installing your choice of OS when you arrive. And
then you entirely avoid taking the system through US customs in the
interesting direction.
Also consider used laptops: I just picked up a used Dell Latitude for
about the same price as a netbook (and half the price of IETF
registration), and I'm delighted.
