    I recently installed FreeBSD 4.9 on my laptop (Toshiba), and it runs
    significantly better on it than Gentoo Linux did. I really notice the
    difference.

    About some laptop-specific hardware: my PCMCIA-card worked out of the box, and
    APM worked after recompiling my kernel. So I think FreeBSD is very
    laptop-friendly (at least more than e.g. OpenBSD).
