I'm looking to buy a laptop, preferably with ARM processor, with the latest version of AROS already installed. U.S. or Canada to keep freight cost under control.

Hi,
at the current stage of development of the AROS project there is no native port for ARM architecture, AROS is only officially available for x86_32 (although you can find builds for other architectures like x86_64, PPC, SAM 440, ...).
In order to run AROS on ARM you have to resort to a hosted environment, that is a Linux distribution that launches AROS: www.aeros-os.org (http://www.aeros-os.org)
If you want a native AROS installation, that is AROS directly run at the boot of the machine, there is Icaros (http://www.icarosdesktop.org/).
There are efforts to provide a pre-installed AROS native systems on laptops with compatible hardware: AspireOS (https://sites.google.com/site/arosaspireone/aros-aspire-distro), iMica (http://www.clusteruk.com/) namely.
Hope this helps.

What about an Acer Aspire? That is the machine Aspire OS was built for. So you have a perfect AROS machine.
