I'd also go for Fedora on a laptop (and do), rather than RHEL/Centos.
I've only used Centos on boxes for servers, but I get the impression
that it's always going to be a bit behind for some stuff you want. All
that fast moving development and toys mean it does actually do stuff
with Laptop hardware that you expect. Like since hibernate and sleep
started working with this laptop with FC4 it's now been up 100% of the
time \o/

And as suggested they are similar so if you know a Fedora box, you are
going to find your way round a RHEL one. I still have fun every time I
go to do something less than mundane on a Debian box ;-)
