I just picked up a Sony VAIO PCG-Z505HS. Overall it works
great with FreeBSD. The positives are:
1) Very light full size notebook
2) NeoMagic drivers for X seem to work very well.
3) The screen is very shart (easy to look at)
4) Built in 10/100 ethernet (Intel 82557)
5) Very fast (PIII-500)
The downsides are:
1) USB floppy only works under current with USB patches from USB
project.
2) Built in modem appears to be a winmodem (though I haven't spent
any time verifing this).
FreeBSD kernel recognizes sound card (sb0). I haven't tried to use
sound yet though.
