It's an acer 1644WLMi. It's supported completely by freebsd. I bought it 1yr ago, now it should be very cheap. It has a 2.0ghz Centrino (Pentium M), 1GB RAM DDR, a 120GB 5200rpm disk, WiFi, USBx4, Intel High definition audio, Intel GMA 945 128MB, battery used to hold for more than 2hr in working mode. There's only a couple of things that you'll need to tweak: 1) snd_hda doesn't come in 6_RELENG.Check the multimedia mailing list to learn how to get it working (everything works great, speaker, line, mic, etc..) 2) The ACPI implementation has a couple of bytecodes fsckd up. You need to fix it and load the modified AML. Check the acpi mailing list to get some help on correcting this minor issue. Cheers -- Alexandre Vieira - nullpt@gmail.com
