Apple makes great laptops as well.  I have an iBook 1.2 GHz running 
Debian/PPC.  All the apps you would run on x86 (minus WINE) are there.

For wireless, I use D-Link DLW-122.  It's a USB wifi adapter.  Very small and 
works nicely with Linux.

I hate MacOSX's interface :)  Pretty, yes.  But too limitted for what I use 
the computer for.  Not a bad OS for grandparents though.  Which is why I am 
eyeing this desktop myself :-)
