Hmm... HPs then.
I am however looking for something a little beefier, http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/au/en/ho/WF06b/321957-32… ↗
For an extra 10℥...
Does that laptop support becoming a hackint0sh?
Please tell me if it does...

Unfortunately there is no quad-core in there range;

I've heard good news about this:

No guarantees though, you never know with Hackintoshes...
You'll have problems with ATI Mobility cards. Not that I have them, I'm having problems with Intel x4500 , but netkas' site and insanelymac are full of all sorts of questions regarding those.
Better choose a notebook with NVidia card, and check the usual forums for confirmed "success stories" about the graphics.
I've installed Snow Leopard on a desktop machine with i7, so that's working without any problems (Hazard distro).
Also, there are no kexts for Intel 5100 WiFi.
