Hi there,
My vote would go to Lenovo Thinkpad W510 or W520....awesome machines.
Checkout: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W520
Although CentOS 6 is not listed there I am pretty sure that it will run decently.
Bgrds,
Finnzi

A very nice machine.

I'm using Lenovo T520 ( machine type 4240-4JG ). Core i7-2630QM, Nvidia NVS 4200M 1Gb, 1920x1080 LED display, 8Gb ram ( 2x4G ). It is possible to install 16Gb ram (2x8Gb) but 8Gb sodimm modules are too expensive.
With stock Centos 6 x86_64 kernel only wifi card does not work. So I rebuild fedora 15 kernel 2.6.40, and everything working fine, including nvidia ( external displayport too ), wifi, kvm, sleep, suspend, fingerprint, webcam, sound ( both speakers&mic ), battery time is over 4 hours.
