My old Dell Inspiron 5160 has developed problems that I can't fix, sigh,
so it's time to replace it. I'm hoping for some good suggestions from
this list (cc'd to hackers for the exposure, I know everyone doesn't
read -mobile).

My criteria:
* 3D acceleration.
* MiniPCI wireless (don't care which card, I'll replace it
anyway).
* At least 15" screen.
* Decent power consumption.
* Plays well with FreeBSD 7-stable.

Nice to have:
* Dual core.
* >4GB memory.
* Working suspend/hibernate mode (and no, I'm not holding my
breath).

So, suggestions? BTW, if I get a decent response I'll summarize it for
the list, along with the one I chose and my experience after
ordering/installing it.

Maybe you can wait for this:

I didn't compare your requirements in there, thought.
