Linux Certified is one vendor that has that.

Emperor Linux. And Wal-Mart, of all places (but not with RHEL.)

There have been several stories lately about the big laptop manufacturers shipping with Linux, but only outside the US. (Due to fear of endangering their relationship with MSFT? Probably.)

And if you care more about something UNIX flavored than Linux, per se, consider an Apple laptop (I say this as a non Mac-head, but they are pretty nice choices for portable *nix.)

HP were promoting a laptop with SUSE 9.1 over a year ago it says here, and here's a page I don't understand which contains a "certification matrix" for HP computers and Linux, including Red Hat.
