Sun doesn't really make consumer level products, such as most laptops. However, OpenSolaris is getting to the point that you can buy almost any major vendor hardware and have it work. I recently bought an Acer Aspire laptop off-the-shelf, and got everything major on it working: graphics, sounds, wireless. It doesn't report battery life, which is a little problem when my laptop just suddenly shuts off, or suspend yet, but that's rarely a big issue for my use. Wireless and sound were the biggies for me.
