  Ok, I think it's time for the quarterly freebsd-mobile laptop
recommendations thread again. :-)
  I'm looking at buying a laptop in 1-2 weeks; my requirements
include 3+ hours of battery life, a touchpad, reasonably good
FreeBSD support, and a sane keyboard layout; a high resolution
display would also be nice, but I'm not at all concerned about
3D graphics.
  What recommendations can people offer?
