I'm also in the market for a new laptop and I would like to be able to run
Haiku natively. So Francois tells us to avoid NVIDIA cards, should we go for
Intel then? Perhaps ATI? Anything else to have in mind?

I'm curious what to consider when buying, stuff like touchpads, wifi-cards
and sound cards etc.
