I regulary run a variety of Linux distro on laptops. Some work fine
right out of the box. Right now I'm running Fedora 8 on an IBM T43
and CentOS 5.0 on a Fujitsu P7120D. The "D" was a bit of a problem as
it designates Atheros as the wireless chip set, requiring madwifi to
be installed. Other than that no problems. Both are running VMware
server and Crossover Office.

I would love to run red hat but need to run it on a laptop. Is there
any effort to get red hat certified on laptops as it is on desktops
and workstations? I don't need pre-installed. Thanks.

HP has certified the nc8000, nw8000, and notebooks certified for Red
Hat 4. Cf.

Other vendors may as well. Have you checked their pages?
And do you need Red Hat to be certified or simply to run? If the
latter, choose the laptop you prefer, then browse the internet to see
if people or running Red Hat on them and have issues with them or not.
I've been running linux (mostly Red Hat and Fedora) on Dell and HP
laptops since 2001.
Kind regards,
