I only replaced my G40 because it wouldn't hold enough ram to run VMWare player. I do not think the quality has suffered at all. I cannot say it runs FreeBSD well, though any FreeBSD live CD ran without error and everything functioned on the G40. I run FreeBSD in VMWare on the R61i. Fantastic keyboards, long battery life, great screens. They hold up very well as I am hard on equipment. These things are tanks.
