Try to find a store that let's you try out FreeBSD on their show-room laptops (forget that, if you want a Dell...) And if you go that route, only buy the model you actually tried out. Because chipsets and specs change very fast in the laptop-world - though you may be better-off with business-class laptops in this respect. I still don't know if I should replace my Inspiron 4000 with a PowerBook or with a x86-laptop - the price of a D600 seems to come very close anyway and the PB would be hassle-free in the ACPI-departement at least.... Does anyone know if and when a newer version of FreeSBIE comes out ?
