hi everyone,
I'm looking for a new, gruntier laptop. What laptop is known to work
WELL with freeBSD? e.g.:

ACPI with no problems (and as many features as possible)
PATA / SATA with no problems
all other basic stuff (graphics, NIC, Wireless g, sound,
touchpad ,etc ) should work too, of course

Looking into either Intel duo Core or AMD64 chips.

From what I've read, IBMs seem to have quite good support, so do
DELLs
(though they seem chunkier than other laptops). I usually get Toshiba,
but I don't think they are so well supported.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can share :)

I've Thinkpad R50e. Everything works fine and it makes an excellent
work tool :

Price of those thinkpads is yet another pluss.
