> can anybody recommend any plan9 compatible notebook?

Based on 9fans' suggestions, I got an IBM T23.
This machine is great, both for plan9 and generally.

T23 (and other thinkpads from its era) also has the most
plan9-friendly input devices I've seen. I can perform all the chords
with just my thumb (later models have less useful button layout), and
I never have to get my hands off the home row while using plan9.

I can't say I tried every device, but I haven't yet come across
anything that doesn't work.
Of course you don't get wifi with T23, you probably need to get a
supported pcmcia card.
