Is there a place where I can find a list of all laptop models offered
by the top laptop manufacturers?

For example, I need to know all the model names of all the laptops put
out by IBM... is there a place to find this?

The answer should include a resource for me to find this information.

Hi Estropelic,
This is the most comprehensive source of laptop manufacturers & models
i could find:
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ 
Click on the name of the manufacturer to view list of models. 
For IBM models, click on "IBM" or go to
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html
    
Another site that may interest you...
"This page is a (hopefully) comprehensive list of Laptop / Notebook
computer companies with World Wide Web sites that sell a product under
their own brand name in the United States. [..]  Next to each company
name are the product lines they carry (usually without the model
numbers)."

I hope this helps!
