I am using the vaio grx-560 not very light, but everything that i want to use is working. things i haven't tried are the on board modem, and memory card slot. acpi seems fine, sound is working well (much better than it was on Linux) cardbus is functioning. Though if you are looking for something to lug around this laptop is really more of a desktop ;-) If you haven't already check out http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/ between those three brands there seem to be upwards of fifty represented. > > > jm -Thomas
