No. At least, not that I’ve ever heard of.
Alternative answer: whatever the developers happen to be using at the time :-)

I think what might be helpful would be a list of what *not* to buy. Here’s what I’ve found:
* Broadcom wireless cards are a no-go. (Broadcom Ethernet is fine though.)
* Stay away from Skylake at the moment if you want maximal hardware support. Most issues will probably be fixed over time, but right now it’s not quite perfect.
* Several laptops have EFI implementations known to cause problems - look before you buy.
Other than this, FreeBSD has played fairly OK with most laptop hardware I’ve tried.
Anyone want to add to this?
