I don't know, but if there isnt one now, there never will be because Be have stopped developing BeOS to concentrate on their embedded stuff.

Y' might wanna check out OpenBeOS; they're porting the BeOS to open source- pretty interesting.  There is a free evaluation download of BeOS 5.0 floating around, but I don't know if it will run on a laptop.
