Hello All

I'm trying to spec a development laptop for a project that needs to  
drive a 2048x1536 projector (3D and Video). I'm trying to find one  
that's FreeBSD friendly - as a skunkworks way of getting it onto the  
final system. I'm wary, as I used to run FreeBSD 5.x on an HP nx9005  
- and had no end of trouble. I'm looking for laptops with nVidia  
GeForce 7800 GTX or Quadro 1400 graphics cards. It seems that there  
are a few Dell models - I'm thinking Precision M70 - or the endless  
'Clevo' 17" models that have options like dual SATA drives etc. So my  
question is: anyone have any experience in this area? any  
recommendations?

Cheers

Pete
