ASUS X59SL

I have always had issues suspending, hibernating and user switching if
you use the ATI binary drivers. The webcam is upside down but that
will be fixed soon in the UVC drivers. I can't use 2.6.31 kernel yet
due to the wireless drivers (ath9k) deadlocking the system, but I
haven't tried to get the latest source and build them. Battery life
blows (2.5 hours, if I am lucky). It does the job, but I wouldn't
recommend it.
